June 14, day 42 San Clemente to Cardiff (San Elijo State Beach)

June 14, day 42 San Clemente to Cardiff (San Elijo State Beach)
Starting odo 8035

Got up and did laundry before going to the Pipe shop for breakfast.
They gave us huge plates of scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, peppers,
onions, and potatoes. This is the kind of breakfast we needed when we
were climbing all those hills, but now, and neither of us can finish
them!

Pacific Coast Cycles

We set off, winding our way through a maze of bike paths, weird turns,
and Camp Pendelton Marine base until we get to Seaside, where Pacific Coast Cycles snags us. It is a classic shop with stuff everywhere, including
a collection of classic bikes, such as a LeJeune , Masi, and many
others. He even has a Raleigh International of the same vintage as
mine! While we are there some people who are doing the RAAM as a 4-man
team come in.  They are from eastern Europe, and seem more amazed by
what we are doing than we are about what they are doing!  The RAAM
started  from Seaside only a few hours before we got there! There are
several other RAAM rider categories that will start in the next few
days.
We move on to the park we expect to stay at, but there is no hiker
biker area there, so we go an extra 8 miles to the next park.
Shortly after we arrive at the campsite, the two women arrive, and
they are camping there too! I kid them about taking the last places
yesterday
