After a fabulous lunch at the Lucia Lodge, we continued our 73-mile journey towards Cambria. The Lucia Lodge (a gas station in a previous life) is a restaurant that has a couple cabins and campsites. The coast highway through Monterey County is minimally developed, which makes it a jewel of a bike ride.
Just before the San Luis Obispo County line the front derailleur on our bike began to act up. The hinge on the clamp had cracked causing the derailleur to turn. I adjusted and tightened it enough so it would hold as long as we didn’t use the big chain ring. The only bike shop in Cambria was closed by the time we arrived.
