So, after sunny skies Friday, we awoke to a dense fog, the kind that drips and drips. Well, we're here to cycle, both of us wanting to get back in the saddle and in shape. So, we sauntered outside along the coast to Old Creek Road, hoping to make it to Santa Rosa Creek Road in Cambria and then back along Hwy 1 to Cayucos. Well, that was the plan. We got pretty wet before turning onto Old Creek Road. I was struggling but then a car passed, and a young man yelled, "Yo go girl." Didn't happen to The Boyfriend. What can I say. We were pleased with ourselves for doing the climb. But, the weather didn't let up, and we decided to throw in the towel and return back to our hotel in Cayucos. We managed about 17 miles. It's a beautiful and challenging ride, the hills were still somewhat green and flowers bloomed everywhere. We took comfort in feeling good that we got back on the saddle as we work on getting back in shape. We've done the ride before and hopefully next time we're in the area, the weather will be more cooperative. Sunday, the weather was worse. It rained. So, we went into Cambria and enjoyed being tourists. I picked up a magazine and discovered some things we are definitely going to do next trip, like take in a tour of the Clydesdale horses and the Stepladder Creamery. We also found a new route to bike next time -- Peachy Canyon Road. Can't wait!
