Limekiln State Park to Pismo Beach. We started our morning in fog, as we do every day, still heading down the rocky cliffs on Highway 1. We had to stop about a half an hour into our ride to help some fellow touring cyclists with a broken chain. Since we didn’t have a chain tool with us either, Jeremy had to fix their bike with a big rock and a rusty bent nail he found on the highway. They were so happy when he got it all back together he gave us both a big hug!
We descended out of the ocean cliffs and into the rolling hills along the beach, where we came across an enormous elephant seal colony and rode by Hearst Castle. We went through Morro Bay and saw famous volcanic Morro Bay Rock sticking out of the bay (actually the plug of a volcano), checked out the mission in downtown San Louis Obispo, and finally got to Pismo Beach in time to check out the town very crowded and touristy boardwalk area before catching up with kiwi Stephen. 97 miles total.
