Done.
We made it!
We entered Los Angeles County at around 2 PM and ended our bike trip at
Leo Cabrillo campground. The travel between El Capitan to Leo Cabrillo
was long ... and easy. It was 48 miles of flat, roomy, and comfortable
ride.
Ventura and Oxnard have three scenic harbors with many parked sailboats
and fishing boats. The coastal views reminded us of Big Sur - the road
was right next to the beach. The difference was, we were at 50 feet
above sea level (as opposed to 1,000!). Cycling next to the beach in the
morning fog was a perfect condition. There were no hot sun and the mist
kept us cool.
At midday, while Dalina was awake, we stopped by a sushi restaurant in
Channel Island. We ordered food with names that we couldn't recognize,
except for california roll, terayaki chicken, and miso soup. The hand
rolls were tasty, and so was the rice. Dalina ate lot of rice - it tells
a lot about this place!
Mark's Uncle, Irwin, met us at the campground with our dinner. We
enjoyed chatting until the sky became dark.
