7.19.04 & 7.24.04

I had to go down to Los Angeles for some training, so I decided to use the opportunity to ride down the coast. I took 280/85/17 to get down to Santa Cruz and then took Highway 1 all the way down to Santa Monica. What an amazing ride! It was cold and foggy basically all the way down to the south end of Big Sur but the weather after that was really nice. On my way back I took Highway 1 up to Oxnard, then 101 up to Salinas. I then cut over to Hwy 1 in Monterey and took that back up to San Francisco. The trip down was 452 miles taking 725 minutes (including all the stops). The ride back was 432 miles and took 600 minutes.

I took zero pictures on this trip, but it looked basically like this :)
