Day 3 - June 10 - 77 miles.
Heading back toward the coast: King City to Paso Robles. I know some sponsors have been wanting to see more pain and agony. Happy to oblige...
   

Chicken Lady sets the pace. Wayne in hot pursuit.
Local kids come out and wonder why we don't have any pedals.
OK. So enough of this life of luxury. QuadBuster beckons - the pointy bit.
Cyclists settle into a slow pace for the 1.6 mile ascent. Legs start to burn.
Caring cyclists provide a push for those who are struggling.
Near the summit - a riotous welcome party and lots of encouragement.
Cocktail Lady is looking mahvelous today. Tim gives her some make-up tips.
So that's okay then. Just the 400 to go.
Lunch stop at Bradley. Local residents outclass the catered lunch and clean up!
PM rest stop. Mission and pilgrims? I'm too tired to figure it out.
Pilgrims provide painful history lesson.
Oh that kind of missionary!
Nice digs Monsignor.
Camp ahoy! Last 30 miles very nasty as road surface and winds conspire.
A hearty welcome from my pal Max. 280 miles and 17 hours of saddle time. Ouch!
