Felt tired first thing , prob due to yesterdays antics and late night. Weather sunny though and discovered that peanut butter makes excellent addition to oatmeal so not a bad start to the day. Riding through central California now beginning to see changes, more Spanish signs, palms beginning to appear, felt warmer today as well. Route went through huge strawberry fields so great summer smells. All going well until monterey , spent about an hour trying to find route south (there are stretches of highway 1 that won't allow bikes as too dangerous) ended up relying on the phones gps which took me up a huge climb through the skyline forest, eventually found route and promptly punctured, one my way an hour later ( bit of a mission changing tyre with rear facing dropouts) and began the Coastal section of route 1 that leads to Big Sur, amazing road that hugs the coast , lots of climbing through large dark clouds. Sun comes back out and tailwind kicks in , nice. Eventually arrive at Pfiffer big Sur state Pk around 730 so better than yest. Have now discovered that highway 1 ( only Coastal Rd ) is shut due to landslide about 30miles down the road. Alternative is big old climb across to next valley so will see how this shapes up tomorrow but am expecting big detour with lots or climbing. Oh good
