4/14 long beach hotel to San Clemente state park
48 miles

It hard to get up and out early after staying in a hotel.
We pedaled about 10 miles to Huntington Beach, a famous surf spot and beautiful broad beach with a picturesque pier. Clay surfed and we got going again fairly late in the day. We had lovely beach bike paths for a few more miles but eventually ended up back on the super congested 1 through Newport and Laguna beach. I'd only seen these areas on TV and they seem to be every bit of an outlandishly decadent lifestyle as they are portrayed as. It is a beautiful area though.
We camped at San Clemente. It's a beautiful beach with lots of good surfing nearby and loud highway noise at night. Oh Southern California. At the campground, Clay ran into someone he knew from beach volleyball in Tahoe.
We have meet people who know our friends in Tahoe and people who saw us hundreds of miles up the coast, noticed us, and then stop to say hello.
One more day to San Diego!
