    Overnight, the winds I had experienced at Point Arena caused a serious fire in Santa Rosa, inland from where we were biking today.  Many neighborhoods were evacuated, and, sadly, the fires are not yet contained. For us the effect was smoke and traffic.  The beautiful blue skies of yesterday were now dull and gray; the sun ...

    Today I rode with Susan and Robin, wanting to take full advantage of this area being Susan’s “neighborhood”.  And I was well rewarded. We stopped first at Pescadero Beach, just to enjoy the ocean views.  Then at the Pigeon Point Light Station, now a hostel.  We skipped the bakery in Davenport, but I took a picture ...

    Barbara, Lola and I wandered into town to Zachary’s for breakfast, then Barbara and I wandered toward the beach.  A bit of shopping, lots of strolling, and just as we were arriving back at the hotel, Donna and Jim Toothman drove up. Donna was my riding partner for much of the 2013 Southern Tier ride.  I ...
