A very, very hot day!!! Covered 75 miles. Started off beautiful. Cycle track through the beach for over 10 miles skirting around LA. thought this was just too easy!
And we were right!
Cycled for a few miles with a fellow cyclist who guided us past a tricky part near Rotunda beach.
Then embarked on the next stage of the journey which took us through a very run down area, oil refineries and glass/potholes on the road .. For nearly 20 miles! We stopped at a grocery store to refill our water bottles .. The friendly guy asked where we were headed. To which we replied 'San Diego' . He said 'why on bicycles?' We answered we were on holiday.. We then all had a good laugh as we stood with bright red faces and sweat dripping off us lol !!
Eventually got back to beautiful beaches and stopped at a very lovely restaurant for lunch.. Feeling very out of place with our sweaty cycle gear on lol.
The road then hugged the coast .. Spectacular coastline. Laguna being a particularly lovely town with quaint shops and art galleries.
Last day tommorow.. Finishing in San Diego!!
