The last few days have been "fun". After monteray, I travelled along the coast it was alot of up and down. I was very tired. I road 64 miles. My average mph could have been better but I'm happy with my progress.

Day four started off well, a couple miles of hills, and then I hit some flats and the miles really flew by. Around halfway threw the day I saw an amazing sight, bull elephant seals fight for dominance. It was intense to put it mildly. After the elephants I saw a super cute sea otter, he was floating on his back trying to open something with a rock. Super cute!!!
Soon I ran into a fellow bicycle tourist. He was headind to SF from the east coast. We talked about the route, he was in good spirits so we parted ways.
Then my day took a wrong turn, according to my map (iPhone) there is a road going from Morro Bay to Pismo beach. Well after miles of road suddenly ended. I was pissed!! So I turned around and headed back. It was dark now and I had no idea where I was gonna stay. Then a cyclist road passed me and asked if I needed any help. I told him my ordeal and he offered me a place to stay. To say the least I was stoked. We talked for a few mins the hit a large desent.(something I allready climbed) Well he dropped me. What a jerk!!!! With nothing else to do I pushed on.
I made it to pismo beach after riding in the dark for three hours when I got to the camp site I ran into another cycle tourer. We split a campsite and I got a good nights rest. The next morning I looked at my bike computer, I did 98.9 miles the day before. Good progress too bad I went 20 miles out of the way.
