And on the way back -when I knew I had it nailed- my reward (in Half Moon Bay). It was gooooood. Really hit the spot and made the rest of the ride easier

Nice, generally flat terrain, with some very long, gentle rollers.
Another bleak, dreary day but if I let that stop me, I'd never ride. I did no enhancement to these pics so you could get a feel for how "moody" it was. I took a few shots but saw my battery going low, so I conserved... right up until it went dead on me at the orchid farm harvest. It was quite a beautiful site. Sorry...
Stopped by where the Mrs and I got married 24 years ago.
The Bach Dynamite & Dancing Society.

Second floor, the glassed in terrace.
It was an amazing day... We had been going through a 7 year drought and that year -for our wedding- that drought ended. Really ended. That's another story.
Anyway, we looked out that terrace, right across the street, to this:

Only it wasn't that calm... I was trying to follow my vows when all I could think was "We're going to die here"... It really was that bad. Scary bad.
Half Moon Bay looking toward the southern "crescent"

And back to the northern crescent...

Some of the boats at Princeton Harbor... these are the sailboats; farther along are the fishing boats where you can buy whole fish and Dungeness crabs right off the boat when they come in.

Another side of Princeton...they used to track satellites here.
They tore that dish down. I don't know what this actually is or does.
I do know on the other side of this is a nice secluded beach where we used to go to get drunk and "party". Boy, were we stupid then.

Here's a little slice of coastal America. Small Town, USA.
I some some stanchions that I had never noticed from the car.
Rule one of cycling for me is: Follow it.
So I went to see what was out there. I found this.

Not a great shot but I liked the sentiment of it.
So, in the end... 35 miles, how was it? Not bad... Of course, heading back was 17 miles into a gusting wind. Nothing awful but enough to make me work for it. Still, it wasn't that hard. My bottom is a lighter sore right now and maybe my legs a bit but I'll do it again...
