68 total miles, a decent portion of which were off-road.

We were supposed to be headed towards Big Sur, but as the road has been closed for a couple of years, ACA is now detouring around. This means headed inland, w/ much less inherent beauty, but it was an interesting day. For one thing, some of the migrant workers work proudly flying a Mexica flag. We whooped and hollered and they did the same back. Feels horrible to be biking past on an expensive bike while these hard-working people are payed a pittance and treated like dirt as they grow our food.

We spent a decent amount of time on short off-road routes: we were <i>in</i> the fields, rather than just flying past. Coming out of one such section, we saw a fire raging in a field a quarter mile down the road. There was one fire truck there at the time, and more coming, but given that the fire was upwind at about 18 mph, we hied it down the road.

At the end of the day, Pam and I had to cook. She made Pad Thai, and I made a spicy Thai cucumber salad that turned out pretty well. Really not a bad dinner at all.
