Left the beach this morning and that will be it as far as
beach camping for the trip. Another really good day of riding. We were on trails for probably 2/3rds of the
day. The trails were in all kind of
conditions. Newly paved, old and rather
rough and even crushed rock, but over all it was nice to be off the roads.
It does take longer to ride, however, when you are off
the roads. When you come to roads and need to cross, the bike always needs to yield
to the cars (of course 😊) and so you are constantly slowing to check
the traffic.
These daisies just went throughout this valley. It was really pretty.
Even did some single track.
We had a 60% chance of rain today, but got by without too much trouble. It sprinkled on us for a
bit, but really didn’t get us wet. It
looks like we could get a little tonight.
The sky is currently getting pretty dark. Temperatures didn’t really get
much above the 50’s today. Kept the
jacket on the entire day. I guess that
is just northwest weather.
We are staying at a “Hip Camp” tonight. I didn’t know even what a Hip Camp is, but it’s
made for tent campers and those sleeping in their car or vehicle to have a
place to stop and camp without really any hookups. Tim did the planning for this area and there
was just nothing else around. It will
work for us. They have a shower, but you
were nearly in the open using it. I
guess there is no one around now, so it worked great.
Haven’t been out to eat yet since we started riding. There just hasn’t been any towns close to
where we are staying. That is good on the budget, but I think everyone is getting tired of the type of food I brought along. Tonight, Tuna Helper, salad and beans!!
These have been great rides to get us ready for the
mountains which we will get into in a couple days. I hope I’m ready when the time comes. 😐
