The last day and a relatively easy 60 miles. We decide to regroup en mass at the lunch stop, so we can all ride in together.

Traffic isn't too bad as we leave Ventura, onto Oxnard and get onto PCH and the first rest stop at a DOT Pullout.
There are a number of small climbs today, Pt Mugu, Leo Carilla, Zuma Beach, Escondido and Pepperdine which brings us to lunch at mile 45.8. The last 15 miles are for the most part on PCH, very busy, cars on all sides, but for a sunny Saturday morning it wasn't too bad.

In Santa Monica, you have to walk your bike through an underpass to cross under PCH, with 4 miles to go and the last climb of 0.3 miles.

Somewhere along this point my little Advil container fell out of the Bento box, and a rider whom I had been chatting with earlier so that, stopped and caught up with me to give it to me. Just an example of the type of kindness you see on this ride.

Shortly before the VA Center, our arrival point, we stop at Peets Coffee to regroup, and we did not follow the meandering route to this intersection but headed down San Vincente direct and as we got to the corner, Bill was crossing the street, could not have been timed any better.

After a Scharfennberger Chocolate frappucinno, Bill heads back over to be there when we ride in, and so we do the final few blocks, finishing 560+ miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Until next year and ALC7!
