Santa Barbara: a climb from fog to sun, café latte and a look back

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wow, I screamed when I saw the shot of Gilbraltar. Not only did I used to climb that road on my bike in the late '70's I used to drive for a bunch of friends who flew hang gliders off of that road. I have a huge smile still thinking about that road. For those who do not know Santa Barbara is one of the best places on earth to ride a bike.

I'm glad you all enjoyed the photos. I took them with you in mind. This is my last photo from the ride.
