If this is Friday, I must be in Fort Bragg??
What a day today!! We kept hearing about this horrendous hill that was coming up - four miles long, a real killer. Actually it was okay - just a 7% grade - no problem.
However... they didn't talk about how cold it was going to be going down the other side - 12 miles of downhill on a twisty, steep hill with no shoulders and I froze!! and then there was the other hill - God knows how long it was, but the grade was between 6 and 11%!! Yikes!
Then we finally got out of the forests and into the sun - overlooking that fabulous coastline - but there were short, steep hills ...
Anyway, I made it - all 67 miles and I feel good about it!! It felt like a real accomplishment.
We got in just in time for a quick shower and a stretch before dinner (yes, Natalie, I am still using your yoga stretches every day after a ride). After dinner though, four of us walked into town and had blackberry pie and ice cream - life is good!!
PS Climbed 5,200 vertical feet today...
