The riding was easy at first, most rolling hills and tail winds. Later n the day though it became more of a cross/head wind so it slowed our progress. In Santa Cruz we picked up more groceries at a little store, along with some delicious premade sandwiches, vegan potato salad and a sushi role with kale in it.
Leaving Santa Cruz, though, meant a lot of hills going through the suburbs... then the bike path into Marina was actually hillier than the road it parallel!
The only campground in Marina was 35--- the right before there was a Motel 6 (which as you may remember we like because they never charge extra for the dog). After a record long day, we were too tempted by the bed- we caved and stayed at the motel.
Side note-we didn't get to see any of it- but we just so happened to be in the area at the same time as the Sea Otter Classic- a few days packed with bike races that thousands of people come to watch. We've been seeing a lot of nice bikes on cars- especially down hill and mountain bikes. Next year we'll check it out though!
