4/10 Lompoc to Refugio
Today's ride was a quick and easy 30 miles. It started with a mellow ride on hwy 1 with little traffic. We spotted a pack of wild boars, a first for me. For 12 miles the route joins the freeway. I was so stressed out about this part. We were on the 101 for one or two miles before Clay got the first of 3 flats today. Stupid highway riding. It really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The traffic is heavy and fast but the shoulder is massive. The only difficult part is bridges and passing exit and on ramps, all of which there were few of and just require a little attention and good timing.

We got to camp on the palm tree lined beach early. Clay fixed his 3rd flat and we did a much needed bike cleaning. We cruised a bike path to the neighboring campgrounds and got massive burgers for dinner.
