Fantastic breakfast (best so far)-waffles-fire place on.  Left at 10:00-route went up steep hill-tried to go along coast-dead end-biked up the heart attack hill.  Walk part way-leader never walks.  Hwy 1-lots of traffic-take Pacific Coast route instead of Adventure Cycling.  Pass field after field of migrant workers picking strawberries-impossible task.  Plastic covering fields-see machine laying it down.  Wind in face-slow biking.  Pass under bridge-look up & see Jean biking OVER bridge-U-hoo as Lynn goes by.  Armand wants to go back-I want to push bike up hill.  Tells me it’s my adventure-walk up & tell him it’s not easy but possible. Back on 1-lots of traffic-good bike lane.  Stop for smoothie-get on bike route through several towns-good job CA.  Back to sand & water-take picture of Sugar & Tiger.  Finally get to Monterey-stop at McD-don’t eat-just sit.  This has been the hottest day so far-low 80’s w/head wind-tired.  Jean & Lynn at motel 6-we’re at Morning Starr Inn ($140)-worth ($70???)-very expensive here.  Internet doesn’t work.  Eat Vietnamese for dinner-good food & good service.  Need to wake up early tomorrow-long climb at BIG SUR.
