Claire and I took the Burley tandem out today for a 36 mile ride. We parked in Duncans Mills, and then headed out to Highway 1 via 116. We had quite a tailwind heading down the coast. We were usually cruising at around 30 mph, which made some of those hairpin corners fun. It was a bit chilly, but we both warmed up quickly as we climbed Bay Hill Road, which is one of Claire's favorites. It is quite steep, and the down hill isn't much fun since it is so bumpy, but the views from the top are incredible. We then headed past the town of Bodega, where we rode thru town at 7 mph over the speed limit. We stopped at the Wild Flour Bread Bakery in Freestone. We had a sticky
bun that was incredible and a cup of coffee. We talked with the owner for a couple of minutes about surfing and bike rides. We then headed thru Occidental and down Bohemian Hwy. into Monte Rio before taking Moscow Road back to the car. Both of us were a little tired from a late night the night before, but we were glad we did the ride. I washed the top of the Hub Bus after the ride. That is the third washing in 18 years. It made quite a difference. I even washed the rest of the bus the day before which was only about the 8th time in 18 years. We are taking it camping next week down to Santa Cruz and Big Basin where we will be doing lots of riding and exploring.
