I appreciated Santa Cruz’s new bicycle paths, and moving out of the city a little faster. I skipped Salinas’s bad lunch stop food and ate at the Artichoke Wagon (mile 47.7) . The Artichoke Muffin and pork burrito were good. Later went inside the Mission La Soledad (mile 81.3). I also saw the Cookie Lady, in the tent area.
Total miles traveled 190 (35.2% of total route)
Dis 110.0 mi, Av 15.0 mph, Tm 7 hr 18 min, Oat 12 hr 20 min.
Right knee pain 1.0/10.0 for last quarter of the ride; a long day, skipped evening shower.
