Up late as we’re not going far, and we watch the day’s Tour de France stage live on the box. We leave at about 10:30: it’s kind of grizzly and overcast again. During the early part of the ride we hit 1000 miles ridden on Diane’s bike computer. According to the gps, we’ve done about […] Well, we had decided to have a rest day, but we didn’t want to spend it listening to US 101. So, we get up late and drift on into Eureka itself, about 4 miles, and have brunch at The Chalet, a typical American diner-type place. The breakfast was marvellous, and we were ready for it. […] We decide on another long day to get us to Eureka for a rest day, so we’re on the road by 8:30. Diane is up at 6:00 to look for Elk, but again there aren’t any around. On the way out, though, we do see one, peeking out from the tall grass. Only […] Getting off the route has left us with a big day to get us to our next state park, Elk Prairie. There are two massive hills in the way, and we also have to ride back to the route at Crescent City, so all in all it’s about 46 miles. Here’s Crescent City, from about […] We’re off to Jed Smith State Park today. It’s off the route, but a couple staying at the camp recommended it. Off in the rain with the tent wet again. Over the California border, where we’re waved through the fruit and vegetable check without stopping. The rain continues off and on, and there’s […] It’s raining when we get up, so we go out for breakfast and then procrastinate until we reach the hour of checking out, and have to leave the motel. We have to go up a big hill, and once over the top, so to speak, the weather perks up and it becomes quite […] Sunset Bay, for all it’s loveliness, is a haven for biting bugs. Not to mention squirrels. We’ve decided on a short day so that we can look round the little town of Bandon, and also do some interiweb business. The campground is 20-odd miles away, so we arrive, set up, and head into town. The […] We passed a pleasant day and two nights in Honeyman. The hiker-biker site filled up, so we talked with a couple from LA who decided to do the trip three weeks ago, a Brit who is cycling to Singapore, and a Scot who had just that day finished cycling across America from Virginia. He also […] Two days in one, as one was pretty short. Up at relative sparrow’s, and off to Newport to pick up some spares at Newport Bike, which was just about open when we rolled up. After breakfast at Stephanie’s Cafe, rather marvellous, we had to ride over another stuffing bridge to get out of town. […] |
