During the bicycle ride from San Francisco to La Selva Beach along route 1 as we departed San Francisco we entered the Devil's Slide Tunnel in sunny skies, however once we exited the tunnel a mile later we were in the fog which remained for the rest of the ride all the way through to La Selva Beach.
Along the coast in Pacifica there were many surfers in the cold water enjoying some weekend waves. All of the coastal towns were very busy and once in Capitola they guys had to walk their bikes in order to maneuver through a street faire.
Upon nearing La Selva Beach, the scenery changed to sandy coastlines and gentle dunes, while the sound of the waves beckoned us towards the shore. We are lucky to have the opportunity to spend the night and the following day at a friend's beach house, where we plan to relax and unwind for an extra day of rest. Our daughter, Alexa, drove up from San Jose to join us for the evening, which is a big treat. This location is significant to both Gregg and me, as we tied the knot at this very beach house 20 years ago.
Throw back to our wedding at this very site on October 2, 2004
Total ride distance from San Francisco 96 miles with 5,564 feet of climbing.
I have been enjoying the daily update. Thank you, Cat.
