Half moon bay to Santa Cruz
Tailwind! We did 40-50 miles today and it was pretty great. It's so beautiful biking along the coast, we are loving it. The tailwind made for some super easy miles. I would never wish for this much wind but it was literally pushing us up hills and for that I was thankful. We stopped and ate strawberries at swanton farms and biked down a dirt road to four mile beach for clay to catch some waves.
The ride into Santa Cruz at dusk was beautiful. We met some of clays friends at a bar before going back to Scott and Nicole's house to chill for the next two nights.
After some much needed rest and a ton of delicious food we were ready to hit the road Easter morning.

Santa Cruz to Monterey
50 miles
Today's ride was pleasantly flat with just over 2000 feet of climbing. The forecast called for rain but we somehow managed to just get a few sprinkles.  We surrendered to the karma wind gods with a solid headwind today which made knees ache and spirits drop.
Tomorrow we search for surf in big sur as I think about the day of rain ahead.
