Saturday 30 June - Getting back on track

Garberville - Fort Bragg

70 miles
6 hours and 23 minutes in the saddle
33.3 mph max speed
10.8 mph average speed

Finally a proper bike ride! Our route took us through more Redwood forests, before we turned off route 101 and took famous route 1 out to the coast. We will follow route 1 for the next few days, hugging the coast as we head towards San Francisco. The northern Californian coast line has steep hills and cliffs and the road it narrow and winding. We spend as much of our time concentrating on avoiding the traffic as avoiding pot holes and also riding off the road! Still, we love being by the Pacific and hearing, seeing and smelling the sea.
