Day 5 Friday, May 8 McGrath to Malibu

Up early and riding after 0800 to Oxnard for Starbucks. We sat at the table, Fred with his minicomputer and me with my microcomputer. Times have changed.

We rode through an agricultural area. The smell of strawberries permeated the wind. And they were growing sod.

Stopping at the display of airplanes near the entrance of Ventura Naval Air Station, Pt Magu is always interesting. A little out of the way display you would never see unless you were on a bicycle.

We rode past the Pt. Magu Nature Preserve as Hwy 1 reached the Pacific.

In West Malibu Fred found a cell phone in the bike path. Eventually it rang and we spoke with the owner. He requested we leave it at customer service in a nearby grocery store, which we did. But first we had a passerby take a photo of Fred and me with our bikes. Imagine his surprise when he looks at his photos later. Good joke.y.

Lots of hills in the Malibu area. Not fun riding.

Dinner of grocery store salads from Von's.

We arrived Malibu RV Park about 6:00. $29 dollars ! And it wasnt a very nice site. Small, uneven plots for tents. There were 15 tents in the tent camping area. A lot of young German tourists.

Lights out for us at 9:30.
