"We Survived ... and it was a Pleasure"

I hope my last blog did not leave any of you wondering if it perhaps was going to be my last blog.  We had been told how treacherous and difficult the ride from Leggett to the coast on Highway 1 was going to be.  We were told by people who had driven it, rode it on bikes and we read about it in literature describing our ride.  I don’t know how much has changed since books were written and people drove and rode this section, but it turned out to be just fine, even enjoyable.  Well, to be more accurate, after the big morning climb, the ride down was enjoyable, even fun.  This is going to be a short blog, mostly to let everyone know all is well because I do not have time for a longer blog.  We could not get lodging anywhere between Fort Bragg and Jenner, California.  So tomorrow we ride the 93 miles between Fort Bragg and our destination in Jenner; almost a century ride tomorrow.  So, I am retiring after I post this and a few pictures.  Hope to check in tomorrow.
