LAST DAY!
After a great sleep and an early morning wakeup call, David and I head to the beach for breakfast and a swim. It was a nice way to wake up and prepare for the next 90 miles.
Then I hit Malibu and holy crap this was bad, bad and more bad.
First of all Malibu has lots of hills. Secondly once halfway through the city I had to ride along the highway which involved riding between cars rushing past me on the left and parked cars on my right. Cars parked all the way along the highway. I was nervous that I would get door prized, but thankfully that never happened. It was a nasty, never ending ride out of the city and into Santa Monica.
I was so thankful to be finished. Sarah and Dave picked me up at the pier (again, so thankful for you guys) and we went for dinner where I proceeded to eat way too much pizza.
I'm exhausted and full and very happy to have made it to LA! All in all it was a fantastic ride and my brain is still buzzing with images and thoughts and routes.
Thank you for all the support and love.

I started out slow and steady. Thankfully it was flat and gentle for the first 3/4 of the ride. I followed a great bike path along the water and past an Air Force base.
