Wednesday 27 June - Crossing into California

Brookings - Klamath

55 easy miles
4 hours and 57 minutes in the saddle
29.6 mph max speed
11 mph average speed

Another easy day packed with beautiful sights. We have seen lots more spectacular coast line and enjoyed spotting wildlife. We have seen brown pelicans, cormorants and honking sea lions. They really are incredibly noisy. We think that sea lions are the aqueous equivalent of cows, as far as noise is concerned.

We have reached California, our last state on this trip. Today we have cycled along Del Norte coast redwood forest. The trees are enormous, we hurt our necks looking up and it caused us to swerve dangerously into the road. Our advice is to view redwood when you are standing still and not while you are cycling (and especially not while you are driving!).
