Day 28, 9/11/08





More foggy, chilly weather for cycling. Most of the route today was tough rollers, finally mellowing out south of Gualala. Our legs had not recovered from yesterday, so we felt a bit weak early on. North of Elk we came across 6-7 turkey vultures sitting on fence posts just across the road. Creepy looking birds. Just south of Elk we had a short climb, but maybe the steepest grade yet. We broke for lunch in Anchor Bay and did a small load of laundry as we ate.










Our pb& b, h sandwiches kicked in around the time the rollers leveled out, so we made good time over the last 30 miles. We were flying. Rolled into the Stillwater Cove Regional Park with 70 miles under our belt and 6:15 hours of cycling time, our longest ride yet. We were happy to have Tasty Bite, as there were no markets open nearby. Dinner was Tasty Bite mixed with chicken flavored rice, hazelnut bread and cookies. Showers were partially outdoors, but the water was hot and things went fine.
