After a cool morning go at “Quad Buster”, a sustained mile at 10% grade, we arrived at the tiny town of Bradley for a barbecue hamburger lunch at the elementary school with our purchased meals benefiting the school.<\/p>\n

The next stop at Mission San Miguel showed years of earthquake retrofitting and other repairs are complete and all is now back to normal. Leaving the Mission brought a hot<\/strong> 90 degree ride down a very bumpy section of Highway 101 then along back roads that ended in camp at the Paso Robles Fairgrounds. Where the camping area last year was all lawn it’s now hardpan, apparently for water conservation. We are pitching our tents on hardpan!<\/p>\n

Tonight was laundry night – At dinner my vegetarian<\/em> friends asked me for my second helpings of chicken<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What a day!<\/p>\n

Answered the Mission San Miquel gift shop cashier\u2019s questions about the AidsLifeCycle Ride. While buying postcards, I learned from a long time rider, Day 5 was originally Dress in Red Day, the red line of cyclists being a symbol of the AIDS Red Ribbon. It morphed, to RED DRESS DAY.<\/p>\n
