    Wow, what an incredible bike ride, 156 miles. The PCH is amazing, I saw the Pacific ocean last summer and it is so beautiful and different from the Atlantic and Gulf in Florida where I am from. The cliffs give you those wonderful views. And we saw the Redwoods too, my favorite part. What a journey of a lifetime. You do an excellent job of capturing the scenic views and the wildlife. Really enjoyed it. Debbie - BluWave Odyssey
