It was overcast when we left, but since there was no wind, the 55° did not feel that chilly and it kept the morning cool.  So refreshing to ride not only along a tree-lined street but a bike path for the seven miles stretch out of town. As we came to the end of the bike path, we climbed a hill and said goodbye to civilizationas we headed out to the country.About an hour into the ride, we picked up a mild headwind; not that tough, but takes it’s toll after miles and miles and hours and hours on the bike.  The road was straight, but rolling, non-stop rolling, but the vistas….Fabulous. Today’s ride is what Jerry always refers to (in running terms) as LSD, long, slow, distance, as that is what we did, all day.  We enjoyed the sights as we plodded alongthe Lawrence Welk Highway, yes, had to take a picture as I would not have believed it either.Marck, if you are watching, this one’s for you; we know how much you enjoyed our corn pictures before.Close to 50 miles we came to the only town that offered a re-charge and dragged ourselves in for food and water.  It was a great one hour break.  After lunch we had the country road almost to ourselves.  For 26 miles, we maybe saw a dozen cars and Scott (from Santa Barbara) biking from NYC back home.  We chatted with him until the sun came out and really made the day hot. We had been spoiled with the cool overcast skiesbut the sun offered nice views, too. Our approach into town was over a land bridge, which gave a different look than we’d seen previously.Bobby T. this is the closest we could come to swans, for you.Made it to our Mozy Motel by 4:30; it was a long 75 mile day with eight hours on the bike seat but a good day.
