Today was basically beach hopping from town to town. I started off through santa barbara and passed through the UC campus. Then went from beach town to town. In Ventura it was like fate, because just as I was pulling in I was going to start looking for a place to pump real air into my tires ( they were getting low and the co2 from the tire change loses pressure faster). The first place I passed... was a bike shop, with free air! They were super nice and I also bought another spare inner tube even though I have one more because I think it's better to have 2 on hand.
Oxnard was ok, where I stopped for lunch. Point mogu was a cool navy base with some shells of rockets and things, and I also passed by weapons training which I heard before I saw... firing range pictured. Then some great cliffs and barren beaches. Until LA county where it got ritzy. Malibu is as you might imagine.
Then I met up with Asaad on the bike path from Santa Monica where he had been out mountain biking. Hooray! He rode me in to his apartment from the pier. It is an amazing place that looks like a pirate treehouse... complete with pool and hot tub we will be hitting later. He is also doing a bunch of my laundry, and then popped champagne. What a great host! We are going to go out for sushi now. Since I'm ahead of schedule, I might sleep in a little before figuring out my next move... goodnight!
