Day 6

40 miles
Grover Beach to Lompoc

I got a ride in the morning to Grover Beach where my friend's mom worked. Ya I know I skipped the 20 or so miles from Morro Bay to Grover Beach. I'm okay with that.

I decided to make this a 40 mile day to cut up the last two big climbs of the route. Actually the biggest climbs   I would encounter. Today was really good mentally. I felt rested and strong. 3 more days to go. I met a couple that was "credit card" touring. They were staying in hostels and motels. He had two small panniers and she carried none. They were on slick road bikes. That's one way to tour. The climb wasn't bad. Steep. Fun descent.
