California Coast Eating Well and in Santa Maria

The California Coast Trekkers are not only cycling, but eating their way down to L.A.!  
An update from one of the Leaders, Rose:
"We started the day with a breakfast of champions: eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes. Despite a late start, we managed to bike 30 miles to get lunch. For lunch we went to a small Mexican restaurant which was very delicious and filling. Luckily through a program called Warm Showers, we found a very nice couple that welcomed us to stay at their home in Santa Maria. We ended up biking around forty miles and it was a great day!"
Riding through Santa Maria is slightly inland, and at the edge of vineyard territory.

The group did some extra miles yesterday so that today could be spent exploring some interesting towns and green spaces locals have told them about.  Everyone is excited to have a more relaxed day.  Tonight will be spent in the town of Lompoc.
