Day Thirteen - PacNW Tour- Point Arena, CA to Bodega Bay, CA

Wow... Looks like I'm into the home stretch! Today was another fantastic day - and for the first time there was no marine layer.  Bright blue skies and sunshine right from the get go ;-)

I also got my tailwind back!  It's been kind of inconsistent the last few days, but picked up pretty good out of the northwest by mid- morning.

This part of the coast is definitely getting drier than up farther to the north, with rolling grasslands often bordering the cliffs along the ocean.

There's still a few redwoods in some of the stream valleys, but now mixed with coast live oak.  Still plenty of spectacular views though!

So... I got into Bodega Bay quicker than I anticipated, and had a great lunch of fish tacos and a beer without worrying about riding along further!

Hard to believe, but after 13 days in the road, tomorrow is my last day riding. I'm hopefully meeting up with another friend, in this case s colleague from ESF who is out here for the summer. I hope to get into San Francisco by mid afternoon, and then put the wraps on what's been a great adventure! Hmmm. What next ?? :-)

Cheers!
