It's the 9th day of the ride. I'd like to say its flying by, but actually it's been a lot of work. I didn't realize how hilly the ride was going to be when I started. The good news is that climbing hills is getting easier the bad news is the biggest climbs are yet to come. We're taking a rest day today, but we'll be back riding tomorrow with the first of the California hills. We have two 1000 ft climbs to start our day tomorrow, we may try to do them this afternoon but it depends on how we're feeling.
We've been camping at State Parks. With $5 hiker/biker sites and hot showers it's a pretty slick deal. My dad brought my mom's Big Agnes but left the pad at home so maybe he's enjoying camping a little less.
We're in California now, we still have over 1000 miles to go if we make it all the way to Mexico. The Oregon Coast ride was beautiful. I've added some more photos to the album if you want to check it out. I am looking forward to California an the possibility of some sun. It looks like we're going to have rain tomorrow no matter where we are but the forecast for the rest of the week looks good. We've been really lucky, with only one day of light rain so far.
