Last night we arrived in San Luis Obispo, about 250 miles down, 350 to go! Bike touring is pretty amazing, but I'm definitely thankful to have a day of rest here. We has our first rain yesterday and the night before, and since we've been sleeping outside it took a bit of a toll on me. I have slept outside a lot, but mostly in places that were hot. I can sleep in 100 degree heat with ants crawling all over me, but once the temperature dips below 50 I have some trouble sleeping on the cold ground. Also, the riding is physically demanding and I am biking with 2 very fit guys. Jon has done this route 4 times already and Josh, having been an avid outdoorman most of his life, flies through the miles with ease. But I am catching up and getting stronger and faster and sleeping better, and I can't wait to keep moving! San Luis Obispo is sunny and beautiful and all of the orange trees are ripe. Yes!
that hot springs looks so inviting!
