This is what the better part of Day Two ought to look like... I took this photo on the ride last year -- Just before Scott wiped out and broke his shoulder.
Beautiful, no?
Day Two is going to be 107.6 miles this year, so a little longer than last year! This is a long mileage day with relatively flat terrain that will take us through the Salinas Valley, also known as Steinbeck Country. The lushness of vineyards, strawberry and artichoke fields stretch as far as the eye can see in all directions. There are usually excellent tailwinds (except for one horrible spot where the tailwinds become CROSSWINDS!) along the roller coaster road that takes you into King City at the end of the day. Highlight of the day: Mission Soledad, the Water Stop location on Day 2 is one of the most historic and special destinations on the ride.
Its Mile 62 Dan, after the water stop going through the valley. :) Have a great day.
