Day 5, our short day, only 43 miles but my recollection from last year was that it was rather hilly, and at 1920 feet, it's not bad, but it is day 5 on the bike. It is also Red Dress Day, so lot's of fun, a few in the club have on red tutus. but some of the others are all decked out and looking fabulous (or so they think!)
Today we go around Vandeberg AFB on the way to Lompoc. While there are three climbs today, the first one isn't until mile 16, the second one is at mile 21, each of these is about a mile and a half. The rough one though is at mile 29, where we turn north (?) onto Highway 1 and begin a climb of lesser distance, but it seems steeper. The LAGL board van is at the top at Firefighter Road with M&Ms, Red Vines and goodies!
Lunch is just on the outskirts of town, I guess to delay our arrival in camp, last year lunch was in camp, but camp is barely getting set up.
