Cruising to Santa Cruz

Robin and I on Twin Peaks overlooking San Francisco.

A view from Pigeon Point.

Paula and her husband Dana met us on route today. They joined us for dinner and will ride out of Santa Cruz with us. Paula did the XC in 2008, staffed it this year, and has done a lot of work for CrossRoads since then.
Dedicated to all surfers--a bronze monument in Santa Cruz.


Just a few notes as it is getting late. We had a nice day in San Francisco. Robin and I and Doc and his wife Sandy went on a city tour via bus. A quick way to see the highlights. Robin and I then had lunch with our daughter Lauri's boyfriend Jeremy who is studying for his masters in fine arts in SF. We had a great dinner at Absinthe. We spent $225 on restaurant meals on Thursday.
The ride out of San Francisco was uneventful. There are some tough hills. The climbing was over 2000 feet by mile 28, with some real gear busters and heart-stopping descents. Tracy rode the entire day today--86 miles. Yeah, Tracy! Robin drove the SAG vehicle today and got the flavor for what I have been up to for the past six years on all my tours. We finish on Saturday in Carmel.
