DAY FOUR: PASO ROBLES TO SANTA MARIA!
The route on Day 4 has a little bit of everything - a feast for the eyes with stunning vistas and ocean views that give way to sprawling fields of farmland and even some quaint seaside towns. The route will wind along some remote and seldom-traveled roads as well as some congested town streets. Before lunch we will conquer the infamous Evil Twins. The Evil Twins are no fun! The name comes from the fact that once you reach the first summit, you have to ride back downhill a bit before riding UPHILL again to the second summit.
The views from the top of that second sister hill are nothing short of spectacular! The hills beyond the second hill seem to ripple and roll out toward the ocean just a few short miles away. From there we will ride back out to the coast and through the city of Pismo Beach and on into Preisker Park in the beautiful Central California city of Santa Maria. BUT... Not before stopping in the coastal town of Cayucos at the base of the mountain for Cheeseburgers with Dr. Vince and Team Dilly Dally!
Highlight of the day: Half Way to LA!!
TODAY'S PROJECTED DISTANCE: 97.7 miles
