Leaving Pacifica was like leaving home. I have become well acquainted with my new found family and familiar to the idea of living in the San Fran area. I do have my eyes set on getting to Ventura by Thursday though to meet up with my mother who is teaching in the area this weekend.
The ride today felt long and slow. Most of the route was flat and the grades were not nearly what they were north of San Fran but todays ride was not easy. The time that I spent off the bike definitly made things hard as my legs were no longer used to cycling every day. They were used to playing wii for numerous hours!
A memorable moment of today was a red tail hawk sitting on a telephone pole and as I passed by it curlled it's body up into a torpedo shape and dove down into the garden below only to arise with a rabbit in its talons! It was quite a site to see! Other than this the ride was pretty boring.
It was great when I arrived in Santa Cruz though. I met up with two college friends and spent the rest of the day joking around and catching up.
