Day 14 - Santa Barbara to Marina Del Rey

Awesome Ride - Beautiful day

Brent remembered this day last year was really windy so it was great to have such beautiful weather today. They passed through many of California's famous beach towns that boast legendary surfing, as well as riding through more farmland and city streets. The scenery was varied for them today and the terrain was very flat all the way to Malibu. Then the rolling hills hit again.

Couple mishaps today. In Malibu, Brent somehow bent his chain, not sure how. And later, bunny hopped a curb and got a flat which then he had to boot his tire. I asked what exactly that meant so I could describe it for us "non-riders" but I didn't really understand his explanation. I asked if it was some sort of patch and he said "no" but when I googled it, it sure looked like one to me. So, who knows! Whatever it is it holds the tire until it can be replaced. Point taken. :-)

Brent talked about riding some rocket today - pictures to follow.

They had In & Out Burger for lunch and he said "Never again". It was like riding with a big rock in his stomach.

Otherwise a great day. He seemed excited that they get to sleep in tomorrow since tomorrow is a short ride. Only a couple days left.

Miles ridden today: 90
Total to date: 1029
