Wow, La Bamba Tours strikes again. The Chaneys and Stewarts headed to Santa Maria's Raddison Hotel to rest before having dinner with Sharon and Gordy at the fantastic Roadhouse Grill. Saturday morning Dave and Mike wakened at 5:30am to dress, eat and prepare for the VERY foggy ride to Pioneer Park in Santa Maria. FOG, lots of it. Who would have guessed after having temps of 85 degrees and higher? Oh, well! The fog lifted by the first rest stop in Los Alamos. We shedded our warm clothes to then head into the hills on Aliso Canyon Road and then past the twin windmills onto Foxen Canyon Road. After circling "the mesa" the second stop was in the small town of Sisquoc. Here we loaded up on oranges, bagels, bananas and M & Ms. Off again to more hills on Dominion Road. Oh boy! Almost to the finish now while heading down Clark Avenue into Orcutt to Pioneer Park. Believe it or not, as we turned into the finish at the park, here comes Gayle and Nancy finishing their ride from Guadalupe, about 26 miles today. It freaked us all out to be finishing at the EXACT same moment after starting at different places, different route and different times. Go figure! The BBQ was "the best ever" while relaxing under the oak trees and clear skys in Santa Maria. Try this ride sometime, it is fantastic!
