This was probably our best and easiest day so far. We began with a climb of about 1000 feet from Wrightwood then took the Big Pine Highway through the Angeles National Forest and through Valyero into Pear Blossom and Little Rock then into Palmdale where we elected to spend the night.
We went from an area with huge trees and high forest down through high Chaparral and into the high desert floor. The change in the flora was impressive.
We had a late breakfast at Charlie Browns which is a combination gift shop, smoked meat store and restaurant. It apparently is a local favorite as a local ecommended we make sure to stop there. It was the focus of today’s photo.
Ride today was just 45 miles and trip total so far ridden is 249.
Tomorrow we will cross the high desert and hopefully do it while it is still cool then begin to climb yet again.
We are still tired but got a chance to do laundry and get some rest this afternoon.
