Early morning ride through Santa Barbara and south. Does not get much
better. Many joggers, pelatons, and bikers. Far fewer homeless and
displaced than one would expect to see in a wealthy area with perfect
weather.
Ride is mostly right on the coast. Wow!
Had expected to stay in Ventura but ride is so nice and got there by lunch
time decided to push on.
Warm day, no wind, excellent roads and paths. Miles and miles of beachfront
with continous parked RVs. Solid wall for 15 plus miles. Parallel and
angled parking. Most likely here for a week or two. Sand, surf, and
endless water sports. No corn, soybean or wheat fields.
Some lettuce, I think. Farmer Grey I am not.
Coast continually blocked by more naval bases. Sure we do not need all of
these remnants of the 19th-20th century. Best real estate inacessible.
Got to Port Hueneme, another navel base, and found a lovely Country Inn.
Did nor want to stop but was not sure when the next good place might be
found. Country Inns are good. Reasonable prices, all ammenities (did not
need to do a full laundry tonight), and a good breakfast. 2 minute walk to
the beach. Oh, and an excellent hot tub as well as free drinks (two) with
afternoon snacks, also included.
Bike ride to dinner. Urbanspoon mentioned a seafood restaurant near the
water. Yikes. Only breaded stuff except the lobster – afraid to try it.
Nothing else to eat in the nearby area.
