Killer Cycling in Big Sur - Bicycle Touring the Pacific Coast Bike Route - Ep8
With San Fransisco behind me, I start down US Route 1 looking to get back on California's impressive coastal scenery. Next up is Big Sur with legit climbs and drops I will never forget. But not all went so smooth during this next week, three different health challenges hit me at once and tested me plenty. Did I forget to mention my encounter with Sea Elephants?
