4th Day. Yes!!! Flats!!!

Today was predominantly flat. Some heavily climbing at the start, but nothing to complain about. Or do I just not want to sound like a broken record.?! Anyway ,check the stats of my 80 mile ride.
Again beautiful scenery. Check out this panoramic pic:

Beautiful Scenery

Had breakfast at a local whale watching diner. The single service of oatmeal didn't keep the diesel going (engine stalling). Had pancakes to keep the engine running.

Had a deer running in front of me for almost a mile. She couldn't go left or right. After a mile she found a spot to escape the terror of my blinking headlight.



As stated, from San Simeon on it was mostly flat. Did average 20 mph on some 6 mile stretches. Passed San  Simeon camp-ground where I and my family camped a few years back. Good memories!

San Simeon had many locations with seals that where sunning on the beach. You could smell them from half a mile away :o)

Smelling while chilling

San Luis Obispo I stopped at a bike shop to get some spare spokes and get rid of my troublesome pedals. Good timing! In front of my motel a second spoke broke... 

Dutch Courage!

 Morale of the day: Have courage in the things you do ....and seal it with a kiss!

PS Dutch Courage means "having courage when drunk" ;o) Cheers!
