After one last day of rain, that flooded the campsite at Westport beach and lead to us sleeping on picnic tables, the sun shone all the way to San Francisco. In Westport two more cyclists (that I had briefly meet in Oregon) joined us on the journey south. It was a real treat to ride with people but that also comes with other problems.
A few mornings were spent riding through the fog that shroudes the west coast in warmer weather but in general it was sunny and I had ample opporutnity to work on my awesome tan lines!!
Highlights:
- All you can eat pot-luck Thanksgiving dinner at the Westport Beach KOA and the awesome camp hosts who looked after us.
- Huge pancake breakfast, hot tub and more lovely camp hosts who adopted and overfed us.
- Sunshine!!!
- The road from Stewarts Point to Bodega Bay. It was awesome riding on this road etched into the cliff high above the Pacific Ocean in the blazing sunshine.
- Riding around Tomales Bay into Point Reyes Station.
Bad ass cycle touring graffiti, Leggett Hill.
