Fort Bragg to Jenner, California: 94 miles
Today was only suppose to be 81 miles but the night before we decided to skip the camping and stay at a hotel. The closest place that had lodging was Bodega Bay. There was no way that we would be able to peddle all the way to Bodega Bay but we figured on riding as far as we could until Soo caught up with us, which is why we ended up in Jenner.
This stretch of road was magnificent on a bike. Lots of hills, winding road, remote and scenery that will knock your socks off. See Soo's blog on what she thought of driving the road. Early on the ride, Jordan got to close to the edge of the road and spilled. Chewed up his knee pretty bad. I told him to "rub some dirt in it." He was in a bad mood for quite a while, which kind of damped the excitement of riding on such a great road. Moody teens are no fun. I got my revenge 50 miles later, however. We stopped at a grocery store for a coke and Jordan asked if I could get something for his wound. I bought a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a big bandage. Pouring the HP on his wound was great. First it bubbled and oozed kind of greenish followed by the stinging sensation. It was a big bottle and I used it all! In some weird way, that seemed to make Jordan feel better and his sour mood was gone.
We saw a couple of good sized bucks chasing a fawn, lot's of raptors and the lagoon at Jenner was fabulous. It served as a breeding ground for sea lions and pelicans. I've never seen more pelicans in one grouping before.
