I was awake early so I walked down to the local Denny's for breakfast. It was a cold ride down from Soledad to Carpinteria along the 101. It started in "Cabbage Valley" (my name for it) miles and miles of vegetables growing acre after acre and hundreds of people bent over weeding or picking, my back was aching just watching them. Then acres of vines and endless rolling hills.
It got a bit busy passing through to Santa Barbara on the 101, mainly due to miles of roadworks.
I'm spending a couple of nights here in Carpinteria and then the shortish ride into LA. Then it's unload everything from the bike and sort it into:
. What stays with the bike.
. What I need to take on the plane.
. What is no longer needed.
Then drop the bike off at Schumachers and get a taxi to the airport….
Sorry about the route track photo but I ran out of battery just after leaving this morning.
