Profile for the day, 62.7 miles with 1476' elevation climbed.
My gear packed up fro one last time.
Our great "G" gear truck one last time in Ventura.
Headed out at bike parking. Everyone was getting a hug which created a huge
bottleneck, but hey, that was OK. 
Out on the road. Overcast again.
Headed towards Oxnard. I knew what would coming up soon...
The marina in Oxnard.
SPUDNUTS! There were many riders there. Donuts and coffee!!!
Heated cinnamon roll and a latte.
See what I mean?
Matt looking for his bike because we needed to get going.
This is one of the "hybrid" bikes. Three guys basically built these "tall"
bikes and rode the whole ride in them. One of them was a single gear bike.
And, they were all awesome riders that knew exactly what they were doing. Very
cool!
Point Mogu
Rest Stop One. Lines for the porta Potties were at huge!
Back on the road
This part of the ride is very, very fast once again. The climbing would come
later.

And again.

Fans cheering us on.
Zuma Beach on the right.
The Zuma Beach climb. Not a bad climb, but a climb non-the-less.
Another one of the rollers that I love so much.
Another cheering section.
The beautiful Malibu.
Pepperdine University.
Lunch. It was a relaxed atmosphere for we only had 15 miles to go!
John leading out of lunch.
Out on the road again for the last few miles
One of the last rollers headed home.
The beach.
The tunnel we crossed the street.
The tunnel.
The actual last climb. Sorry for the blurry picture but I was climbing with
one hand, not a a safe thing to do.
The top of the climb.
The crowd waiting for us at the top.
Riders coming to the top of the climb.
The ride down San Vincente drive into Brentwood. The tenth time I've ridden
the street. Beautiful homes.
People cheering us on.
Coming up tot he end of the ride after we stopped at a Jamba Juice fro some
refreshment.
The end of the ride.
Bike parking at the VA Center
We had about an hour and a half to kill before closing ceremonies would start.
We looked for a shady spot under the trees.
John Curtis relaxing.
Here's John (Matt's boss) before he took a nap.
Joe's family. Nina, Joe's wife on the left, has committed to do the ride next
year as a roadie. Joe's riding!
Riders just hanging around.
The AIDS Quilt. Inspiring.
We were asked to get to our bikes to get ready for closing ceremonies
Walking our bikes out.
And more walking. We actually didn't ride that much except up to the stage.
This is the first time I've actually been close to the stage.
Matt doing the "lift".
Closing ceremonies is always extremely emotional for me. Remember the red
helmet covers we wore on Day One at the opening ceremonies? They were stitched
together to form the 25 you see in the picture. And then it was over...until next year!
