Day 4: Pfeiffer Big Sur

Wonderful ride today! Awful climb up out of the campground & a short stint on the freeway but quickly made our way into Carmel. Once again the weather was perfect.  We took a side trip to Point Lobos State Reserve - probably the most beautiful section of the California coast we have seen so far.  Highway 1 into Big Sur was narrow and windy. The first sign said windy road next 90 miles. A bit up the road another sign said "hills and curves next 63 miles". We had some climbs but the biggest hills are still ahead. The wind pushed us up and down the hills. I offered to unzip my jacket to make a sail at one point.  We stopped at the town of Big Sur for a snack which we had sitting on chairs in the middle of the river.  Once in camp, we road to the nature center for a hike up to Pfeiffer Falls. Decided to take an extra side hike to a vista point overlooking the valley.  Sitting in camp now by a warm fire. Have showered & had dinner. Talking about the ride tomorrow.  We are posting lots of photos and waypoints via Track My Tour. Click on the link to see where we are.
