Highway 1 in California is exactly what it looks like in the pictures... hilly with tons of twists and sharp curves! It is a BEAUTIFUL view but can be heart stopping sometimes where there is no shoulder and a huge RV passing. For the most part cars are very respectful and always move over but of course you get the one in a million jerk who wants to test the limit. Sometimes we even get kids shouting encouragements out of the back window of a passing car! That always lifts our spirits!
Today was a REALLY foggy day making us realize how much more lights/reflectors we could use on our bikes. We have already started a list of gear/equipment we want after this trip and upon request we can make it public for Christmas or birthdays =)!!!
Still having a great time and although we still have over 2 weeks we are upset our trip is coming to an end!!
