Atascadero - Santa ynez

In the morning we realized that lots of wine and margaritas are not the best way to re hydrate, but i think deep down we all knew this. Its a strange aspect of human nature, we know the healthy thing to do, we say we want to be healthy, and yet we chose the route of most pain. So needles to say it was a slow start. Finally round 9.30 am we set off for the coast again towards Morro Bay. Thankfully the temperature was a cooler 80 degrees as we set off for the 28 miles of the first leg. We had to climb back over the coastal hills again, but the climb was far less arduous than the previous day but was very scenic. Once again as we crested the hill there was a dramatic temperature change, it got so cool I stopped to put on my gilet. From Morro Bay (pictured) we went down to Pismo beach and had the mother of all tail winds, although the part was reasonably flat we were easily reaching speeds above 30 miles an hour. From there we went onto Santa Ynez which has a large wine industry and where the movie Sideways was based, thankfully the people were not quite as weired. It was very pretty going through the small towns of the region that have also developed a tourist business on the back of the local Wineries. I was told Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch is somewhere in the area but figured we would give that tourist spot a miss. Day 4 was just over 110 miles and was cooler, but the legs and body are getting tired. We had a great dinner, but for this night we drank a lot more water than wine.
