Miles 39, Total 636
Not too much to write about today. We only had 39 miles or so to travel, so we’re looking at the day as a day off of sorts. We were thinking that it would be a short riding day, but it pretty much took us all day to do it. We got away kind of late at 9:45 and 8 miles down the road stopped in the artsy town of Mendocino and had a second breakfast. We just took our time all day and arrived into camp at about 2:30.
It was pretty much the same thing all day. We would see some beautiful piece of the ocean where a river or stream enters the ocean and then we would ride across a bluff, down the hill to another river and climb back up to a beautiful view. It was up and down all day. We had about 4,300 ft of climbing today. I think I would just like to get the climbing done, but that is what the Pacific coast is.
We have had some great tailwinds the last few days. The wind in the afternoon is blowing about 15 mph and it really helps. It’s supposed to continue, so that is good.
We are in a KOA tonight and there is a lot going on. Lots of campers. I could only get the spot for one night so we have to move on tomorrow. There wasn’t anything available for 69 miles from here, so tomorrow is going to be a big day of ups and downs.
All of us at the top of a hill.
The waves were just roaring on Manchester Beach.
