John got into King City at about 6:30. His excuse for the later arrival was a good one. He got a bit dirty and greasy helping a rider. She had a bad case of chain-suck.
He says that yesterdays ride started cold & foggy along the coast, sun didn't come out till Marina. The riders zig zag through farm roads, artichokes, broccoli, strawberry fields forever.... He stopped for steamed artichokes (good choice John, fried is great but not so good on the tummy).
He said the last 10 miles into camp were especially good. I've always caught a tailwind there on those rollers and he caught a good one. 8-)
Nicole says the Cookie Lady was out right after the bridge over the ....what's the river some riders skinny dip at?
Today the ride is from King City to Paso Robles. Johns team will have an Ice Cream social near camp. Wonder how many root beer floats he will have worked off?
