CCC - Day 2 // Santa Cruz to Monterey

Stats - 53 miles, 2000 feet of climbing

Team Also Touch Day -  we lined to get a photo of the team before we cruised out I camp.  We have 8 official members and tons of unofficial ones ;-). Welcome to the team 

So today we were cruising back to the lighthouse (as we normally do for a little off-touring) but there was a triathlon going on by the boardwalk.  Now those are amazing arhletes!!  The boardwalk is so peaceful in the morning and has a different view whine it is empty!

More beautiful coastline and the start of strawberry and lettuce fields. What a beautiful smell! 

So in this route you cannot go by Moss landing without stopping at Phil's Seafiod and having a  lunch!  Nice!

The best part of today was turning the corner on the Monterey Recreation Trail and see the sand dunes, the ocean and Monterey in the background - SPECTACULAR!!!  Maria and I took a lot of pictures at this spot.

One last note - we had a pleasant surprise from Jerry and Diane Hall who came up the steep hill to visit us!  We reminisced about the Hancock neighborhood - block parties, the hike, taking pictures of the kids on the 1st day if school, etc.  Great times but even better people!
