Day 36 - Big Sur, Highway 1

I took full advantage of my rental car, driving down the coast line.   Although it would’ve been a fun road on the bike, I enjoyed it immensely in the car!!

Seriously, I must have stopped 100 times to take pictures, do you know how nice it was to be able to be lazy?   OMG.  It would have been a full day on the bike but in the car, it was easy easy.    Corners schmorners...I’ll catch the next curvy road on the bike.

I’m happy with my decision to end the trip. 

My bike is finished and I rode off into the sunset.  :)   Just kidding.   It rides A LOT better.   Hard lesson but hey it’s my first bike.   The new chain makes it sound throat-y-er and I would say it purrs now.   Makes me wanna go ride.
