The Frigid North Coast

I’ve ridden about 37 miles today and I’m pretty worn down. Last night was pretty cold, and I slept poorly to say the least.

I’m stopped at a little co-op cafe in Point Arena looking at maps and paths. The blue sky has finally decided to show itself literally 5 minutes ago. The clouds combined with a moderate head wind have made this morning cold and rough. It’s looking like I’ll make it to Gualala, but I don’t think I’ve got the energy to cover 60 more miles today to make it to Bodega Bay. The hills are taking their toll for sure, and without Jas, my motivation is dwindling. Most of it is that I don’t think I can handle another frigid night without a shower and every campground between Gualala and Bodega supposedly doesn’t have showers. So, I may wind up in a motel for the night… Blowing up the bank for sure.
