Whew! We made it out of the ruggedly beautiful, and REALLY hilly area of Big Sur. We're now in San Simeon and happy to be out of the rain and wet camping gear. :-) Tonight in a motel, tomorrow a tour of the Hearst Castle.
Kind of crazy day today. It rained all night. Then it stopped this morning long enough for us to pack up and go. Then it started again. But the WIND! The wind, which normally blows south, was gusting 25-30 mph in our faces. There were times when the road flattened and I'd be in my second lowest gear going 7 mph. A few times coasting down big hills I could only get up to 12-14. and that's with all the weight in those bags on my bike!
It was a huge struggle the first 22 miles getting out of the big hills. Then it decided to start raining for real. Nice day! At least we stayed ahead of the raccoons...
