Day 33: This Space For Rent (couldn't think of a title....)

Ride:  San Simeon to Grover Beach

Distance:  69.4 miles

Total Trip Distance:  1,810 miles

Today I rode through Cambria, Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo and Pismo beach - all places that I've spent time at before and that bring back good memories.  Was fun seeing them again from a bike - it adds another dimension of appreciation.  And I gotta say, I'm really liking this traveling by bike gig ...... Gonna miss it when it ends.  

Misty climb out of Cambria:

All of us who are fans of aunt Rosie will appreciate this one:

Raccoon update:  I haven't had any more problems, but I have been a DEFCON 5 since Oregon:

Ha!  Try and get that you crafty little bastards!!

For the record, I'm not on board with the baby seal comment.

Saw more agriculture and started dreaming of spinach......aaahhhhh spinach:

And of course there was more beach :

By the time I got to Pismo beach this stop was mandatory:

The highlight of the day is the place I am camping at:  the Doty Ranch in Grover Beach - what a place! Ocean views and all sorts of nooks and crannies to keep you interested.  It is primarily an airbnb site (2 or 3 very cool, unique rooms) but us Bike tourists are welcome too!  I'm camped on a lawn in a fruit orchard - here are some pics that will do a better job than words:

Returning to the real world is gonna hurt..... :)
