Erm... To Bodega Dunes
Not a promising start, rained hard most of the night and into the morning , breakfast in the tent before a quick pack up and off in hammering rain. Ten mins into ride and sun appears, peel of waterproof layers, stop for coffee and blueberry muffin, soak up rays on storefront porch, lush.
Sun stays out rest of day and no wind; result ! Riding today along Sonoma coast,( just north of San Fran) perfect scenery , soaring cliffs and sparkling Pacific. Roadside covered in wild flowers,smell fantastic after night of rain,
stopped a couple of times for coffee and to soak up some rays. Have noticed lots of birds of prey along the coast which look pretty amazing soaring overhead, discovered today they are called 'Turkey Buzzards', bit of a let down tbh. To be fair they are pretty ugly up close. Ended up in state park in sand dunes early enough to get tent up and dried out. Great day all in all, felt like last couple of days have been about getting to a destination , today was back to the ride so happy to have mojo back.Excited about San Fran, which could be doable tomorrow, will really feel like a milestone from Vancouver. Then on to Southern California. Highlight of the day, stretching out on warm porch , sun on tired legs, coffee in hand , bliss.
