Day 2. Santa cruz to Big Sur. 75 miles

Some head wind while peddling to monterey but turned into a decent tail wind once we turned south again. Mostly the terrain is flat farm land with lots of strawberries. As we reach the bluffs along the ocean we roller coaster along with no climbs being over 300 ft.  

As I let my shin heal from last week and run the van support I see the trip from a new prospective. One my desire to be cruising down a 1000 ft decent will never go away, but to share the way of the road with my son's carries an unmatched joy.   

I got the opportunity to try out my brother-in-laws racing bike to day what a difference but at the end of the day I will have to say I will stick to touring and the granny gears. .
