5th Jan.


53 miles today- arrived into San Simeon State campground just after suinset with a takeaway pizza box bunge corded onto the back of my bike - successful day. 

Met fellow cycle tourer Brian at the top of a hill in the afternoon- also heading to San Francisco from LA- but this was this 3rd day- and my 6th!  (He was wearing lycra...this explains it!) 

Passed a sign 'San Francisco 235 miles'. 

Met Michael in Morro Bay park- selling chocolate bars to raise money for an alcohol rehab home.  Friendly guy- he said he'd keep me in prayer.  I really appreciated the kind thought. 

Widening the range of things to eat with peanut butter...salad- radishes- crackers- bananas- cucumber- also avocado with most of those too.
