Today was better but cold.
It started with a one mile hike from the place that I was staying at. Once I got to the road I had to backtrack and ride a few miles to Highway 1. It was time to get off the 101. It was going to be a long ride, 28 miles to the next anything.
Highway 1 took me too the coast after a 1,900 ft climb and freezing descent. Once I saw the Pacific again I was all smiles.
Riding along the coast in California was nice and warm with a wild tail wind that was a big help on the straight aways but hard to tame on the turns. Fortunately, my weighted bike held it steady most of the ride. I finally stopped and ate my first meal in Fort Bragg after 53 miles. I was done.
Towns passed:
Westport (pop. 238)
Cleone (pop. 570)
Fort Bragg (pop. 7,026)
The correct answer to Day 11’s trivia had a couple of right answers. Marjorie from Marin County and Christine from LA County both appear to be big fans giving multiple correct answers. Breedlove himself made this blog’s first celebratory appearance and had a comment as well.
Today’s trivia:
Fort Bragg is home to this brewery.

ReplyDeleteI remember Fort Bragg used to play in the Otis Spunkmeyer basketball tournament at Piedmont High over the holidays. They probably still do. Point being, you're close to home.
