Today we wore our team jerseys in memory of Christiana! We have 15 members from NorCal and SoCal and have raised over $35k as a team! Quite a few people were asking what does Also Touch mean. We (and members of the team were able to share her story and how Also Touch were the last 2 word in her journal. Only God knows how this will be used...
Today was another touring day starting in Monterey at Fisherman's Wharf and watching the sea lions. Then we cruised to 17 mile drive and along the beautiful coastline (pictures below). Just a fabulous day to be outside on a bike and riding for a great cause! We were able to go onto the Pebble Beach golf course (hole #18) and take pictures from the tee and the green. From there we had the 26.2 mile 'climb' up to Big Sur. This is the same route they run the Big Sur Marathon. As we got close to the Bixby Bridge, the fog started rolling in, so we could not see how long the climbs were. For me, this was great because "I'll get there when I get there", but for Maria - "she likes to see where she is going and how much she has to go". Just another day in God's beauty.
At the end of the ride, you get to enjoy the cold water at the River Inn. Yes, our feet did thank us!
BTW, we did ride 50 miles with about 3300' feet of climbing. We stayed within the speed limit this time ;-)
See you on Day 4....
