While we were do to ride along the pacific coast for just a few days, we had to reroute due to fires outside of the central valley and unhealthy breathing conditions. Upon our arrival in Arcata CA, it was noted that even driving in the direction we had planned was inadvisable. We were told that drivers we advised to keep windows closed and use their recycled air. No way were we about to ride through that!
Our hosts in Arcata helped us with some route planning and onward down the coast we went. Although very hilly, this route was beautiful, allowing us to ride through redwood forest's Avenue of the Giants and along coastal roads with a unique mixture of eucalyptus lined roads, farmland, plummeting cliffs and seashore coves guaranteed to lure in the curious at heart.
Because of having to abandon our original route, hosts and volunteer opps, we had to start from scratch, recreating these opportunities along the coast.
So... we have some catching up to do with our blog! Commence catch-up:
