Big Sur Tour

A few weeks ago Calvin organized a bicycle tour of the Pacific coast along Big Sur.  He has been talking about doing this ride for a long time.  He talked Vance, Jim and Jay into going with him and I had a great time following along and enjoyed spending time with Rosie and Alice.  I did get a few pictures of the bike riders, but mostly I took pictures of Alice.

Waiting for all the riders to get ready, Alice isn't quite sure who these guys are.

Day 1 start from Carmel

Day 1 waiting for the riders Rosie Alice Diana and I enjoyed shopping in the shops in Carmel and then eventually caught up with the riders for lunch. Then waited for them again at an outdoor cafe where a cold drink was really welcome.

and admiring a gorgeous sunset.

Day 2 start after a fun night of camping

Rosie and Alice and I took a beach stroll while giving the riders a head start.

The riders had a really challenging morning riding over Naciemento pass. We regrouped at the top and Rosie and Jay rode the rest of the day on Jim's tandem.

We met up again at the Mission San Antonio de Padua for a picnic lunch.

The final stretch into King City was very hot, the pool was very cool and the crew started day 3  glad to know that ride would be short because everyone had a big drive home.

More Rosie and Alice time for me.
