Day 7 - Buellton to Ventura

Today we rode from Buellton to Ventura down the coast. It was a total of 86 miles with a little over 3500 miles of climbing. The morning started with a beautiful, bright rainbow in the sky; we knew it would be a good day! The weather was beautiful with the temperature in the 80s. We had an adventure alright as we rode down Hwy 101 near Lompoc where it is 6 lanes. Not my idea of fun, but it did keep us awake. We rode a total of 25 miles on the freeway! The neat thing is that they closed a lane for us over this bridge for about a 1/2 mile - Bike RACERS coming thru :-)

We rode through the beautiful city of Santa Barbara and stopped on the pier for lunch... Very delicious!! People were out sunbathing, playing volleyball, boating, etc... It seemed like a Saturday... Hmm, what day was today ?

Tonight we are camping next to the San Buenaventura State Beach and enjoying the nice, cool wind. We definitely appreciate that!

BTW, has anyone ever had a sandwich with peanut butter, banana and chocolate? Oh my goodness, it is sooooo good!

Until tomorrow - one more day to go!!!
