Day 16: Fort Bragg, CA to Gualala, CA

9/19/2013

Very chilly, clear morning today in Fort Bragg. Glorious view of the Pacific will be off my right shoulder all day. I pass through artsy Mendocino at mile 9 and then quiet roads until stopping in the tourist village of Gualala after 60 breezy miles in the saddle.

Might have to stretch breakfast out a bit here cuz it's cold!

Would have eaten here if it was Fiddles, Cameras and Eggs

Leaving Fort Bragg

Entering Mendecino

A new postcard around every corner

What an over-the-top, cool house in Mendacino

Heck, even the shacks are a photo op

Navarro River

Holy Cow!

Holy Cows! Think they're related?

The Eagle has landed

Jeff - the town of Mendacino, one of my all time favorites - so picturesque! So beautiful and right off the artists canvas's or right out of the movies! In fact I will be dating myself but the movie "The Russians Are Coming" was filmed in and around this town. If you have never seen it get it on Netflex and watch it sometime back home when you "nursing your wounds" from your epic ride! Terry

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.
