WEST COAST TRIP SEP 2010

Fort Bragg to Cloverdale

77 miles

Sep 20, 2010

Things are changing. We started along the coast then went up the Navarro river to the redwoods and over some hills to the Anderson Valley. They produce some great wines including the Silver Oak Cab. Lots of climbing again (4,460 feet)

The Coast just below Mendicino. Look! No rain and

we actually a mild tailwind. Great riding day

Where are all the trees? This is unusual

The Navarro Redwoods. Look at the tiny car. Most
of these trees are actually second growth (that is less
than 150 years old)

Then into the Anderson Valley and great vineyards. I am
always amazed at the neatness

The vineyards backed by the hills (if your in a car) or

mountains (if your on a bike) And yes we had to

pedal over similar ones to get out of the valley
