Pacific Grove and Carmel Valley

I drove down to Pacific Grove with my friend Maureen and did our annual ride (weather permitting, and the weather did permit this year) on the 17-mile Drive and then to the hills in and around Carmel Valley. The day started off with excellent weather, not too cold and sunny. By the end, the weather was started to cool off ahead of the coming rain, but we still got a great day of riding in. Here are some of the sights that I experienced. Enjoy!
