Layered up we rolled out with a forecast of rain and lightning. I started the day out with four riders, one of them being an older lady (who doesn't read maps too well). We helped her navigate through town and blasted off once we hit a straight stretch (climb).
I spent the day riding with Rick, a 64 year old retiree from Sacramento, who is not only doing the Pacific Coast tour, he's doing the Southern Tour to Florida as well. He's motivating me to stay fit and healthy. Fit older riders amaze me.
Little to no rain all day. Just great photos and incredibly beautiful quite back roads.
Typical view on the first part of the ride and then everything opened up to lush fields along a windy river road.
The only disappointing part of today was the fact that we are not riding farther.
Cold beer before dinner, very nice.
When deciding what, when and where to eat we have to factor in the bike ride. Here's my strava ride to dinner.
We are staying on this street at the RV park. We can be found at the corner of happy hour and happy trails.
A lazy restful day today with a longer 70ish mile day tommorow. Give or take detours and meals.
Youre already getting creative with your dinners... 3 days in! Cant wait to see where this goes...
ReplyDeleteI found the detailed map on the website this evening, now I can watch your progress. It was good to see a picture of you along with the great shots of countryside.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great adventure already. I bet that beer was mighty tasty! Prost!
ReplyDeleteFrom ultra modern coffee bar to chili cheese Fritos. You're covering all the bases here. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to let you know what chili cheese Fritos mean to Stacy and I's 23 year relationship when you get back to the Putnam Citadel clan. Love your updates and following your experience. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteYaayeah Jetthro! Ramen & Fritos can only be good while biking down the entire west coast. I like the many beer photos, scenery and the Lewis and Clark stuff is interesting. Rock on Brutha!!!
