Day 6: Monterey, CA

Wake up was at 5:30am this morning, which was nice compared to yesterday's 4:45.
We all woke up in the gym of Santa Cruz high and began our speed pack in preparation for breakfast and our departure. Our ride today was fairly quick, 50 miles and it was all knocked out by 11:30. We all staged up and rode in double paceline formation to our friendship visit. The visit went well, lunch was provided and was delicious to say the least (all food tastes 100 times better after several hours on a bike). After meeting some new friends and snagging a few hot dogs, we headed over to lodging which is an old Infiniti Dealership converted into a school office building. It's not too shabby. Needless to say, I immediately fell asleep for a couple of hours, right on time to wake up for our sponsored dinner: burritos! I'm sure there will be a battle for the few bathrooms later this evening. Anyways, tomorrow should be interesting. We have from sun up to sun down to ride 115 miles and over the largest coastal mountain in the United States: Big Sur. I'm sure it will be beautiful though. I'm very nervous.
