Big Sur...this day has always been one I looked forward to on previous rides....then it was day 2 of rides starting in San Fransisco....it is a challenging day with my last time on this ride to be up in the redwoods...
got a slow start to the day....a later then wanted roll out from the hotel, my first flat tire of the trip and slow service for breakfast all to blame....my legs felt good though, finally .not having the deep fatique and heavyness there from day 7....Big Sur was a mix of sun and fog....it was almost 50 miles in to get so plenty of time to warm up....felt good through all the climbs and it was as beautiful as ever....coming down to Ragged Pt the road then flattens out...with a strong tailwind the next 20 miles to Cambria were a very fast time trial....and after that was when my day fell apart....or my body....with about 25miles to go for the day my body said no more....this was the biggest struggle I've had to the end of any day so far....it took all I could do to get to the hotel.....it is quite interesting how unpredictable this can happen....129 miles for the day....
