After a great breakfast at Papa Joe's in Frendale, we rode to Myers Flat for a total of 43 miles. We had the energy and daylight for another 10-15 miles, but today was laundry day and the Great Redwoods RV Campground in Meyers Flat along the Eel river had laundry facilities and a nearby market.
Today we rode through redwood forests along the Avenue of the Giants, easily one of our favorite rides so far. We pulled over and stopped at a roadside produce stand and picked up a few things. We bought lemon cucumbers, tomatoes, a sweet onion and some plums. We also had homemade blackberry popsicles which were tasty and very refreshing, as it was sunny and warm out. Easy terrain for cycling today. A few climbs getting out of Ferndale, but 
easy cruising after that. The ride also offered some gorgeous views of the Eel river.

Dinner was cheddar filled brats on sourdough sandwich rolls with chili. We also ate a whole bag of salad mix to which we added the lemon cucumbers and tomatoes we picked up earlier in the day.
