Page 98 - WINE DINE AND TRAVEL SPRING 2021 REDISCOVERING CALIFORNIA'S CENTRAL COAST

Back on our bikes, we entered one of the impres-
sive and beautiful coastal bike paths on earth. We
stopped several times at various scenic and histori-
cal viewpoints. Off the path to a beach in Pacific
Grove, we found the point where John Denver met
his end in a downed experimental plane just off
shore in 1997. Toward the end of the ride, we
stopped to admire the stunning scene that is Lovers
Point State Marine Reserve.
Jan was willing to do more of the 17 mile Drive,
but after three hours, Ron’s backside was getting a
little worse for wear, and suggested we call it a day.
And he had to rest up for an afternoon of wine tast-
ing with Sammy.
