first ride in the rain

We made it 75 miles yesterday with the hardest ride to date. We made it to camp around 7:30 because we figured we'd run into a campground but turns out it was 15 miles farther down the road. In a car, this is a quick drive but after the 3K feet of climbs, this extra 15 miles took and extra 2 hours. We were at a crawl.

But we made it just north of Fort Bragg and today's ride is mostly flat--meaning "rolling" hills that climb no more than 500 feet (think torrey pines hill).

The goal? Have fun and cruise another 65 to 70 miles.

  1. Sounds like you're hurting a wee bit, but don't forget to love every single minute of it. Great posts and AMAZING photos. I had a moment of zen as I read your redwood post and imagined myself among them. I'm sitting at a computer under a fluorescent light- don't hurry back too fast or this could happen to you!

  2. I long to be next to a river amongst the tall redwoods enjoying slow cooking bratwurst with the best people in the world. Drinking and bragging about the best stories into the night. Missing ya LOMO
