Started Ride in King City w Bob B, Tom T, Tom M, and Byron H. The five of us pretty much rode together to lunch. We had cool temps in the morning in the 40's. We stayed at lunch for ~40 minutes to prepare for NF climb. Tom M was really strong 1'st half of ride, but he dropped off from us on the NF climb. The temps got warmer after lunch in the 70's. The NF climb was tough, as I had to dig deep as my quads were tight. The climb into Lockwood was much easier this year as the temp was mid-80's as compared to the 112 for the previous year 2017. The last 30 miles was mostly down ward and we pace-lined to a fast finish. Great Course, beautiful scenery along Big Sur and Great Comradery with my Cycling Friends as we Helped each other out to a Strong finish. We saw other close friends on the ride Brian S and David Jeong.
