Riding Day 22 - 70.89 miles We got going early this morning after a surprisingly restful night. The motorcycle enthusiasts we were camping with, most of them appearing to be a little long in the tooth, completed their partying early and went to bed at a reasonable hour. I guess time wounds all heels in equal measure.
Talked to a guy at the station this morning, packing up his folding bike and packs, headed back to Las Vegas where he lives. He came in this morning on the train from Seattle where he completed his Santa Monica to Seattle bike trip. So now that I "know all about that bike trip stuff" I shared your adventure. He was about 60? Said first big ride like this. He was by himself. He stayed in motels. Did the 1/101. Wow. I've seen folks on the 101 on my way to or from Eureka wondering what the heck are the DOING? Getting an update of your ride gives some insight now. Thanks for sharing. (I still think to myself ...What are they DOING?🤣) Epic.
The bluebonnets are beautiful, they are beautiful lupines but I go in for the pink and orange colored but I digress. I find it amazing how much pain and exertion the body can withstand with a little rest and snoring.How are you guys reacting to the time change or is it so subtle that you don't even notice it? As I have gotten older my mind is no longer moving at a frenzied pace so I can enjoy the things that used to pass by in a blur. I am enjoying you guy's journey and I am grateful that you decided to take us along. Nice gentle breezes and flat lands for you today!
