Left camp early without breakfast thinking we would stop in Bodega Bay a mile down the road and get breakfast there. The only restaurant we found open was expensive so we got a danish, coffee and OJ at the gas station, mini mart. After a few miles down the road, we could tell that breakfast didn't have the power in it that our usual oatmeal, bagel and fruit does. Food is our fuel and it is important to keep the tank supplied. The day still had its ups and downs as the road goes around cliffs and canyons. There were hundreds of cyclists on the road... most going the opposite direction of us as there were several charity rides going on including a large one for MS. The best part of the ride was the last few miles when we had a bike path through the redwoods with no vehicle traffic that took us directly to our campground--Samuel Taylor State Park. It is nice to be amongst the redwoods again. We meet all types. There is a gal in this hiker/biker camp area who looks like a guy who has gone through a sex change. There is also a middle aged guy, Tod, who was at the same campsite as us last night. It was another great day for riding with warm temperatures and blue skies.
