A 66 mile day today as we tried to get as far south as we could before the “week of rain” hits us. The skies were cloudy with temps in the mid-fifties as we headed south from the Rivers End Inn.
Ang stops to take a phone call from our son Ryan who was worried about us. We’ve been out of cell signal most of the time since Mother’s Day and Ry wasn’t able to reach us until this morning.
In Bodega Bay we stopped for breakfast after the first 12 miles or so.
We spent a majority of our ride today in or above the headlands riding through lots of wild flowers and green pastures.
About 50 miles into our ride we double down to get to San Rafael, another 16 miles away. The chance of rain the next two days is 100% with over an inch of rain and high winds forecast for tomorrow. If we get stuck for a rain day we wanted to be someplace with options for distractions. San Rafael seemed like our best bet.
We left Sonoma County before lunch and entered Marin County. About 5 miles of our route today was on the Marin Trail.
We’ve seen many, many roadkill deer on our trip so it was nice to see one alive for a change.
Passing through redwoods as we close in on San Rafael, a few miles off of the Adventure Cycling Route. We’re only 12 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge tonight. Will we get to see it tomorrow or have to sit the storm out in San Rafael?
Watch out for The Birds in Bodega Bay, i hear they're real peckers ;)
