Time for another ride
Three more days and we roll again. This time the ride takes Tom Harrylock and I south to Santa Barbara. John West will ride with us for the first 4 days and then work takes him back to Seattle on the train. Our plan is a 17 day ride down the coast. I enjoyed the Oregon and Northern California coast so much in 2008 that I thought it would be nice to ride it again and add the central Big Sur and south section this time. It maps out to just under 1300 miles though when I plotted the course my memory of the hills had faded and I was surprised to see the amount of climbing involved.

Pops, unless I am doing the math wrong, 117,138 feet isn't very much climbing...22.185 mile or 1.75% of your total trip. By my estimation you are climbing 3,253,008 feet or 616.1 miles, which sounds a lot worse (48.6% of your total ride...). Now that deserves a YIKES!
good luck, have fun... we will miss you.
love Pav
