Santa Barbara to Santa Monica

Today's ride was along the coast from Santa Barbara to Santa Monica. The wind was howling in a few spots and knocked some riders down ... several riders called it quits and were shuttled to the hotel.
We are at the Lowes Hotel ... a block from the Santa Monica Pier and right on the beach!! It is a beautiful place. Its also not far from the market so we went there first for a large tube of Desetin! Sweet Relief!!!
Dinner was on our own again so we walked down to The Lobster ... it sits above the pier .. with stunning views and fabulous food. The lobster dish I had was soooo tasty!! We then strode down to the pier for hot fudge sundaes!! I think im actually gaining weight on this ride!!!
