Day 3 Santa Barbara to Point Mugu

Julia:
Today some people were dressed up for Halloween, one girl was riding with a pink wig underneath of the helmet, two women were wearing the bunny years, some had face painting.
Right before the start of the ride, the survivors were invited to lined up at the front raw for the group picture and to lead the last ride of the Tour.

Everybody looked very cheerful and happy - we were promised no more hills (little that we know...).

Gretchen choose not ride today because of the church, so I had to find some other riders to tag along. After the first rest stop, I went with a small group - a couple from Hershey company and the guy from Giant Bicycle Inc., the "Ghost Rider", who was chosen by his coworkers to ride in honor of Michelle Weiser, the employee of Giant who was a big supporter of Tour de Pink. Michelle passed away this summer after a battle with breast cancer.

The bike route took us right on the US-101 Freeway. Although the bike lane was surprisingly wide, it was a little bit unnerving...

The weather was gorgeous, the view breathtaking. Today's 50 miles were the least noticeable.






We arrived to Point Mugu State Park around 1:00 pm. Gretchen and Janice were already there taking pictures and cheering for us among the bunch of other people.


WE DID IT!!!
