Not the bike path

July 27, 2017

San Luis Obispo to San Ardo

Do not take the little bike path!

Found that out the hard way.

I took it the first time thinking it would keep me off the main road.

It takes you down into a myriad of dirt roads.

I went back down the hill to almost where I had originally begun and went for my second attempt.

Stay on the main road.

A successful ride up to the top of Cuesta Pass.

I stopped often today getting off the bike and walking, stretching.

It was getting late when I left Bradley to get back on 101.

The shoulder of the highway was horrible.

Atrotious.

It was like having a speed bump every three feet.

At least it was not as bad as the one in Arizona.

8.30 I exited off the highway to San Ardo.

Found a place to lay down at the top of a little incline next to a locked gate leading into a field.

And then a car drives up.

Steve was certainly an angel in disguise.

Invited me to stay and campout at his place.

Gave me some chicken to eat and a cold drink.

He even took the bike for a little spin up the road and back.

Glad I met him.

Really, it is more than that.

Glad God put him in my path!
