This is what it looks like to ride on the California coast!

A big smile on everyone's faces despite the ride uphill!

A wonderful and successful end to the first segment of Day 1. What a great and energetic team!
For some riders, this was there first time on the road, but they rode up to 30 miles before joining the sag support. Wow!
Some of the riders are heading back home, while others continue on the road to Goleta!!
A BIG HAND TO ALL THE RIDERS!!!

A well deserved meal for all! These are the group of riders and sag support that will be continuing on the next day! They will either be going from Del Mar to Redondo Beach or Redondo Beach to Port Hueneme
