I've taken a 6 month career break to help me decide what I want to do when I grow up! This BLOG will record my adventures and chart my progress as I cycle the western pacific coast of the US for Room to Read. Find out what I've been up to and how I'm getting on...

Day 34 report pt2

...in the "how fast can i go on the flat" game today (the inaugural worldchampionship) ... I won! ;) with a top speed of 27mph.

There was a period when the wind was really a crosswind which is no use to anyone and towards the end a nasty little climb was before me. Its bark was worse than its bite however and i was soon descending into Lompoc. I suspect this is more of a market town than tourist but functional enough.

I managed to use the library for photos and get a motel booked for santa b. Now its coffee and blog report.

This cafe is similar to many in calif in that the music is a mix of rock and 60s retro (partic beatles and hendrix). Gone are the days of good ole country in washington and oregon. Ive not heard a steel guitar for weeks and i dont mind telling you im starting to miss em!

One more day in this 7 day, 380 mile, shift from san fran. Then a day off before the final 250 mile push.
