Riding on the Monterey Bay Trail: The Last Hurrah

We returned to Carmel, had a great visit with Vicky's parents. For two days we drove to Asimilar Beach, and then rode our bikes along the trail to Marina. It is a wonderful bike ride, along the ocean, through Monterey and Cannery Row, and along the trail through Fort Ord State Park.





The flowers and plants were stunning.







It was a good way to end the biking and hiking part of our road trip. We didn't set goals, per se, but before we left I wondered if we would be able to get in 100 miles of hiking and 500 miles of bike riding.







Our final tally was 132 hiking miles and 481 biking miles. It is a very healthy lifestyle, because we never went out to eat so didn't eat junk either.
