- The roll out

- Rest Stop 1 at mile 12 and well, it is Red Dress day. It was cold too!

- On the way to the first climb and climbs they were, even if it was a short day.

- Second climb after Rest Stop 2. It's a character builder.

- My buddy, Bob, again!

- Headed down the very fast character builder I mentioned above.

- Headed towards the dreaded Vandenberg climb. It's really not that bad at a max of 8%, but it looks worse. And it's over a mile long.

- The fast ride with a tailwind into hot Lompoc!

 - Ah, lunch. We're actually about three miles from the finish. And I love doggies. Even if they aren't mine!
