And we woke to clear skies this morning. Brenda and I walked to the beach for breakfast at Sambo s . This is the location of the very first Sambo s in 1957. Eventually there were 544 of these restaurants in 39 states. Today there is only one the original on the beach in Santa Barbara. We witnessed a wonderful sunrise; too bad I didn t bring my camera.
We re only a couple of miles from the Channel Islands National Park Visitor s Center but that doesn t prevent us from getting lost. With the help of two Hispanic cyclists, the route sheet, Android navigation and (primarily) Brenda s navigation skills we finally find it. The islands are somewhere way off shore in the photo below.
Brophy Brothers Restaurant population of los angeles is recommended for lunch and it is quite good. I have fish and chips better than yesterday s fish and chips and Brenda has a shrimp and avocado salad. It s only 10 miles to Port Hueneme and we ride into town first on the beach full of resorts (and sand on the bike trail) and then on a tree-lined boulevard. The hotel, which is being converted to a Holiday Inn Express, is quite nice with complementary happy hour each night.
I am a retired computer geek who loves to ride bicycles. My first century (100 mile ride) was in 1971 and most recent was September 2011. I'm still going strong at age 71. In 2012, I'll blog bike tours in Texas (April) and California (September).
