  - This is the Strava feed from my ride

- This the elevation for the day

- All of us eager to get rollin'

  - Me in Bike Parking at the Cow Palace

  - Waiting for the procession out of the Cow Palace

- Out in the streets of San Francisco. We were given a lane by the police. By mile 9, it was single file for the rest of the way to LA

- Kathryn and the doggies out to greet me soon after leaving the Cow Palace. She would be my Sherpa for the rest of the ride

  - it would be misty, wet and cold until lunch, then the sun would show itself

- Finally headed downhill into misty, wet and cold Pacifica for the rest stop

- a panoramic shout of Rest Stop 1 in Pacifica

- my freind, Julie Brown, a long time friend, rider and this year, roadie.

- Pacifica

- not one of mine, but a doggie at lunch. CUTE!

- After lunch, on the way to Santa Cruz, Pigeon Point Lighthouse. Yes, that is sun!

  - me stopping to undress a bit (it was getting warmer) and to take a nature break.

- on the way to Santa Cruz

- beautiful

- Not too far from Davenport. The sun got me excited.

- I've taken this picture 25 times now!

- Bike parking at Rest Stop 4

- my close friend, training ride leader and past fellow rider, Judy Gerber was working bike tech this year.
