DAY THREE: KING CITY TO PASO ROBLES



TODAY IS THE QUADBUSTER!

Don't let the name scare you, though. Quadbuster is only a small part of the route on Day Three. We will pedal on VERY remote roads passing only a few small quaint stores, mostly later in the day. Last year we rode past the most expensive gas in the United States - no kidding - at $5.09 for Regular Unleaded!

Rest Stop 4 is at Mission San Miguel, one of California's 21 historic Missions. This is where I bought the crucifix for the Anglican rosary I created for this year's AIDS/LifeCycle event. The day ends as we ride into Paso Robles where we camp at The Mid State Fairgrounds. We dine inside the fairgrounds dining hall - what a treat! Highlight of the day: Lunch on Day Three is in the small town of Bradley where the local school hosts a BBQ to raise money for their field trip program. I'll gladly donate some money to the kids this year, but I'll bypass the burger line to get back on the road I think.
