<br />
Today we did the 80 miler from Solvang to Oxnard. We started from the hotel after a full breakfast but with the after effects of a lot of wine tasting. Before we got out of town, the volkswagens were gathering next to the road and I almost got sucked in by Sarah from Tennessee.<br />

Morning arrived and there was no fog! Our ride today would take us through some of the hills toward Morro Bay on the coast. After a sag stop at Morro Bay, we again headed inland through the outskirts of San Luis Obispo, into the flat broccoli agricultural area and into Santa Maria.<br />

This new day (Friday) we are on our way to Solvang, the Danish enclave in California.TXGuyOnTheGohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02629049106363231975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651091638298381259.post-15115156058895378982012-09-20T06:48:00.000-07:002012-09-20T06:48:12.954-07:00King City to Paso RoblesSept 19, 2012<br />
<br />
Today our ride was 61 miles with just over 4000 ft of climbing. The day started gray and foggy and around 50. At about 10 miles we hit our first good sized hill shrouded in fog where the visibility at the top was about 100 feet. As we continued down the other side the fog completed cleared within a quarter mile and the sun lit up the valley without a cloud in the sky.<br />

Sept 18, 2012<br />
<br />
It was so cold, I had to knock icicles off the handlebars...or so it seemed. The fog had settled in with a temp of around 50. The first couple of miles on G-16 had a lot of traffic to the little town of Carmel Valley on a road with almost no shoulder or, in some places, a small broken up shoulder.<br />
<br />
Carmel Valley soaked up all the traffic and G-16 rolled through hills and ranchland with almost no traffic. Our total mileage was 56 miles to King City on several different roads. <br />

Before chronicling todays ride, I want to describe our ABB book club that was started several days ago by Herb Schon, Don Yost and myself. Our first book being reviewed is the book "It's about the Bike" by Robert Penn.<br />

The book club meeting was quickly called to order and discussion of the first paragraph of the prologue immediately continued without missing a word from our first meeting.<br />

Rather than recount the book club discussion, I now divert to the review of the day. We started at a cool 46 degrees in bright sunlight on Hwy 101.<br />

Today started with an early breakfast... Ok, 7:30ish. But there were great expectations developing for Mike's bike handling skills course at 9AM ... to be experienced on a wet parking lot! We gathered round, listened to Mike describe the skills to be developed, then put them into practice. <br />
<br />
I found that I have a lot to learn about bike handling and found out about how to develop those skills in the act of normal riding.<br />

After training, the rest of the day was spent on various activities including massages with peppermint oil and hugs. Late in the afternoon after a sun dance, the sun came out to warm everyone to a 60 degree heat wave.<br />
<br />
We met later and headed for the Chart House Restaurant.<br />

Leo elected to take the rollaway to the patio and spend the night in the mist and ocean ambience. Thought the temp was 50+, I was warm with several blankets. The evening mist kept the top blanket wet for the night.<br />
