Another beautiful day for a bike ride, this time a relatively short one from Monterey to the Pfeiffer Big Sur campground.
Great scenery, great campground, and enough restaurants and small grocery stores nearby the Pfeiffer Big Sur campground to make the living easy.
This would be an ideal spot for a rest day.
Two of the campers that we saw at Monterey’s Veteran’s Park yesterday were here: Shadow, 30, a touring cyclist who says he is “homeless by choice,” and Gwyneth, 78, who took a bus to the Pfeiffer campground.
Gwyneth, who is very nice and offered to share her pastries with us, provides proof that you don’t need to drop a bundle at REI to camp.
She uses a plastic painter’s tarp as her tent and newspapers as her ground sheet.
The hardest part of the day was riding a mile and a half up a steep hill to to a deli south of the campground, where I bought two huge sandwiches and a large can of Mexican beer for a late lunch and dinner.
