More Pics

Upper right is a picture of the beautiful CA coast, super foggy!

Alrightie so this is a picture of the road we climbed! super narrow and hilly, to your left is another shot of the narrow winding hills we have traveled

This Bottom one was our awesome campsite at Samuel Taylor State park. They have this really neat thing called "Hike and Bike" It is only 3$ per person to stay. We put our tents in a circle of Redwoods!

CA Picture update

Hey Guys we are going to upload our pictures onto a slideshow as soon as possible, here are a few for now. Paul Bunyon is on the side, with the three of us. Here we have a tire change going on after a HUGEEEE uphill. Uptop we have our first campsite, it was sooo misty and foggy it was almost like a rainforest. The upper right is after we crossed over the bridge! This is Laura's camera thats why they are all of me and Dan! I am going over to get a memory card for my camera now so we will post most of Laura to come!!

SAN FRAN!

We'll we made it to San Fran!! We have biked well over 400 mi and we are ready for a little break. My (liz) butt is a little soar and i am super excited to do some laundry haha and eat some peanut butter (which ive already done thanks mom!!) So we made it to San Fran today, biked over the bridge, i was real apprehensive about doing that but we made it! So many people were on the bridge though it was hard to manvuer by them. So we biked around the city alittle bit, very hilly. Now we are staying at Dans cousin's roses apartment which is right in San Fran and realllly nice. Tomorrow we are sight seeing and hopefully going out to dinner with an UConn alum, Sun is acaltrax tour and monday is our wine tour! This is just a quick update before we go out to dinner, but pictures are to come!

The trip has been awesome. We have seen so many people touring the CA coast. Today we met this guy going from Alaska all the way down to the South America tip. His bike was LOADED!!!! I have a new appreciation for biking with weight, it is a lot harder. I have only fallen once, but it is hard to steer around these tight CA curves.

So we are real happy to be indoors in a house tonight, we have had some wild camping experiances, neighbors one night, racoons the next (we well post more on that later!) but for now we are inside at Rose's!!

We will update pictures and post more later!

Today we reached Bodega Bay! We are about 70 miles out of San Francisco and very psyched to get to the city! Yesterday we biked 70 miles - including the steepest part of the California coastline. Today we just did 30 miles - a little bit of a recovery day. The roads are very curvy. A typical road is a downhill curve with a "U" turn around a river or the coast at the bottom and then back uphill again. The weather is still chilly but not as foggy. We understand the weather should be improving soon. Hopefully we can post some pictures when we get to San Francisco.

WE'RE GETTING THERE! We arrived in Westport CA today. 230 miles down. The cycling has been great and the scenery is awesome. A little saddle sore but still traveling.

Well, we have ridden 110 miles. We rode a little farther than we thought we would. The Redwoods were great to see. The weather is misty and damp and cool - perfect for the Redwoods, a little chilly for the campers!
