Day Four - Hundreds of Sea Lions

Today was clearer than all the other days and hotter. The day started with a 1.7 mile climb from Big Sur. It wasn’t too bad. After 40 miles we approached Twin Peaks which had a 3.7 mile climb. It was followed by a 2 mile down hill then a 2 mile uphill again. The rolling hills and the flat land followed. It was beautiful. After every turn there was a photo opportunity. We came across a beach with hundreds of sea lions lying on top of each other. Today wasn’t as hard as the first day but it was the most climbing, 4600 feet total. We rode a total of 64.2 miles.

We came across a couple on vacations driving a car with the license plate HELVSME The husband asked us what we thought it said. One of us said “hell vs. me”. The husband said, that’s how he read it. The wife said it was supposed to be “he loves me”. So, how did you read it?

Anyway, tonight we are camping out by a beach in San Simeon. We can hear the ocean. Time to snooze and get ready for Pismo Beach tomorrow. Supposedly, hot springs await our arrival!
