Stagecoach 400 - Day 8 - The Pacific Coast, San Diego National Wildlife Refuge, and Finish!
Sleep is deep and thorough, so that by the time we wake up, the soreness in our bones has been abated. Today is planned to be shorter both in elevation gain and distance compared to most of the previous days - which means one thing --> a slow morning to enjoy ourselves. It's also our last day which happens to coincide with a ride along the Pacific Coast. We hum with excitement and the promise of beautiful weather. I open up the blinds to our hotel room and gorgeous bluebird morning light spills in. Janna and I walk down to the complimentary hotel breakfast which sits in a partial-outdoor room. The air is fresh, maybe even crisp, with the saturation of moisture that soaks our lungs in relief. It's looking to be some of the best weather conditions of the trip - a perfect way to finish the Stagecoach 400. We eat, pack up, and push out right along the PCH bike lanes we've ridden so many times over the years on previous trips…
