Day 3 and the Quad Busters

Today hadn't been too challenging despite the threat of the "quad buster", a sharp steep hill to begin day 3. Yesterday was a long 105 miles. It took us a good 2 hours to get through the morning traffic even though we hit the road relatively early. Even though we kept a quick pace we somehow ended up in the back of the back. Kind of disheartening since we were travelling at a fast clip. Yesteday had some amazing stops. Got to have fried artichokes road side then went skinny dipping which was amazingly refreshing. Last night we ended in King City and today we are on a 66 mile trek to Paso Robles. I'm at our lunch stop nearly 40 miles into the ride and its only 11:30. Hopefully we'll get to camp in just a few hours giving us tons of time to stretch and chillax. I'm riding with Kevin and James who have been awesome but I am meeting tons of great people including Mateo from Brooklyn riding fixed!! Time to eat!!
