Day 21 - San Francisco, CA to Half Moon Bay, CA - 37.04 miles

Clearly we took a lot of time off the past two days; the Avon Breast Cancer Walk that was 10 miles in as we enjoyed breakfast in Sausalito yesterday was finishing up after we enjoyed breakfast in Lower Haight with Matt today. We didn't do much sightseeing while we were in SF, but we have some good plans for when we come back to visit including another Hot Pot meal. We did enjoy biking through Haight and Golden Gate Park on a Sunday with lots of activity and we stared longingly at the Academy of Sciences but knew would never make it to Half Moon Bay before sunset if we went in, so it's on the list for next time. During our short ride today we leapfrogged with a group of firefighters from all over CA who were doing a ride from SF to LA to raise money for cancer research. We were very jealous of their support vehicles cheering them on and periodically providing snacks, but now feel better that Jon 1.0 considers us to be the "real bikers." (Sorry for the ambiguity on the last post. It should have read: Austin can't remember a time when Jon stayed behind with Austin on the hills.) Between seeing the Avon Walk and the firefighters' cancer ride we started to question our decision to not ride for a cause.

Day 22 - Half Moon Bay, CA - 0 miles
While we didn't get massages or surfing lessons, our "weekend" on Ken was incredibly relaxing and fun. Our day and a half at the Ritz included real food (no PB and Doritos sandwiches), incredible views, a resort spa, fire pits, local wine and cheese tasting, bocce, and a supportive staff (Thanks, Zach!!). Put the phone down, Ken, we got the family discount!
