California Trekkers Bike and Smell the Fresh Stawberries


We woke early for our big day...50 miles! After a hearty breakfast of oatmeal and bagels, we took off. The first leg of our trip went well, though there were many more stoplights than we preferred. We bought lunch at "Grocery Outlet," a store that excited everyone with its unbelievably low prices. PB&Js were consumed on some unrealistic turf under a real palm tree. The second leg of our trip did not go as smoothly. As soon as we left our lunch site, we were confronted by a strong headwind that persisted throughout the afternoon. Fortunately, it blew delicious scents from the strawberry fields right in our faces. We biked through massive farms, seeing where all our fruits and veggies come from. Marina, CA was our final stop, where we pitched tents for the first time this trip and made pasta on the camp stove. Tomorrow is Big Sur, something we've all been looking forward to!
