After lots of flat riding we started the climb up Hecker pass. Nice weather for riding and the traffic was pretty light. Nice rest stops for head scratches.
Riding along we came across the Santa cruz county fairgrounds and this great museum about Apples and santa cruz farming/Agriculture. Popiis a huge dork for this kinda of stuff so even tho it was getting late we walked around the museum for half an hour.
They had all kinds of wonderful exhibits about apples,dairy and strawberries.
Watsonville is where the Martinelli’s apple juice company is located,you may have seen their juice around in the small glass or plastic “apple”bottles.
Biking along the levee we came across this body. Or we thought it was a dead body. It took Popi 5 good minutes of watching before we could see that in fact this man was breathing. So we rode on… Hope he slept that one off.
When we crossed the Bird river we got onto this levee and rode car free for miles around Watsonville CA to the east.
Cheap flowers! We were thinking that if we had Trolly the trailer with us we could buy a bunch and give them away to people along the route. 10 bucks worth of flowers would have been worth 1,000 smiles!
Fog rolling in….
