It was a really hot day! My Garmin recorded temperatures of over 105 degrees. We rode from near Pismo Beach to Santa Barbara. The final climb was tough but part way up I heard my name being called: it was former Veritas colleague Andrew McCarthy who was spectating with friends.
After the final peak it was a fast descent to Santa Barbara. But not as fast as Taylor Phinney who won today's stage after a break away on the descent.
At this point I'm pretty tired and pretty sore but the end is in sight. Just three more stages! Tomorrow will be a tough one with lots of climbing but it looks like the temperature will be more reasonable.
I saw a none to happy Mark Cavendish right after the finish.
And here is my Strava data:
