VENTURA!

Tuesday 10/23. Lompoc-Ventura 57 miles plus a train ride. Started in the cold chilly fog-wait, aren't we in southern California? The only rain of the trip was Monday night in Lompoc. The early fog burned off and we entered the 101 freeway for 20+ miles. The bad news was it is a freeway and the good news was the road surface couldn't have been any smoother and there were terrifically strong tailwinds. So we sailed into Santa Barbara, through UCSB campus ( on the ocean!) and then bike trails through the city. Ended up at the Amtrak Station and took a hop with our bikes on the train, along the ocean into Ventura- what a way to wrap it up! Wildly celebratory farewell dinner at a local restaurant with speeches, poems, songs and lots of wine to fuel it all.
