Day 29 - Lompoc, CA 89km

Day 29 Lompoc

The ride is coming to an end.  One more day and they will be in Santa Barbara where they will get off their bikes, box them up for shipping back home, and morph themselves into tourists until they fly back to Nova Scotia.

Gone is the forest vegetation as the ride today was through ranch and crop land - not nearly as interesting apparently especially when the whole day was overcast and dreary.

The highlight of the day though, was the camaraderie with other cyclists they are meeting along the way as seen in these pictures.

 "Another chance meeting of cyclists along the way south; we were backed up by road construction and a flagman, so had a chance - albeit brief - to become aquainted."

"One of them rode along with us - up the only climb of the day - and it was a big hill.  Here we are at the crest looking out over Lompoc with Bill from Maryland".

They will stay the night at the Roadway Inn in Lompoc before their last ride (on this trip!) into Santa Barbara.
