Friday, 7/24 - 45 miles which included a 4 mile up hill climb followed by a shorter but steeper climb and a series of short climbs at the end of the day. We started out a few miles in land where it was relatively warm and ended up (after the 2 morning climbs) on the coast where the weather became cold again. It seems that it is always cold along the Pacific coast. We were going to do a short day but there is a dearth of services along this section of the coast so we rode on from where we had expected to camp. We are at a state park campground which had a Mexican restaurant a short walk from the campground. Most of the bikers we stayed with last night are in the hiker/biker site. The site is full, however, so the ranger gave us a regular site at the biker/hiker rate ($5 per person). We keep seeing the same bikers on the road although that will probably end next week because most of them are ending their trips in San Francisco. Tomorrow morning it is about 3 miles on a bike path along the ocean to Fort Brag which is a town of about 7,000 people. It has a Starbucks (☺) and hopefully a laudromat since all our riding clothes need washing.
