Day 14: Ferndale, CA to Garberville, CA

9/16/2013

Back on US-101, I hug the Eel River until turning off on Avenue of the Giants and climbing through the majestic redwoods to Garberville, where I'll enjoy a much-needed rest day after another 60 miles spinning the pedals of my Vilier.

Papa Joe's for morning Eats

Waiting to Eats

Glorious morning leaving Ferndale

I picked up a couple of hitchhikers in return for free eggs

Eel River Valley

Scotia Mill is enormous

Been looking forward to this for months

Don't need a San Francisco sign on Avenue of the Giants

I need one of these for the door to my office

Spectacular ride amongst the Giants

Tailwind and canopied most of the 30 miles

...there I go!

Screw the detour. I went for it this time and was able to cycle through

That was a GIANT ride

Meanwhile, I've returned to my desk and the glories of nearly 200 emails! So great to meet you Jeff and be a (small) part of your amazing adventure for Lindsey. Ride safely!

I miss getting up in the morning and jumping on the bike. I am envious of your continued adventure. Keep up the great effort and remember.. "Easy Street is Closed"!

You're a giant now.

On August 14, 2013, I'm flying to Vancouver, British Columbia and beginning a 29-day, 1,880-mile bike ride from Canada to Mexico.

On this page you'll find random ramblings before, during, and after my trek down the Pacific Coast. Prior to BikeTheCoast13, I'll blog about my prep, training, and thoughts from the road.
While visiting my blog, I hope you'll offer comments, suggests, and words of encouragement. I'm going to need all the help I can get!

For those who don't know me or my inspiration, please take a moment to check out the Why Now? tab to meet my daughter Lindsey and find out how I got here.

If this site helps or inspires you in any way, I hope you'll consider making a small donation to the cause.
