Jack is Back...
The California Coast provided a great backdrop and Jack was happy to be back. With more than 630 miles ridden, fatigue is a factor each day. Jack has been doing a great job of recovery eating well (no cheeseburgers for the past 6 days) and getting a daily message. Tomorrow the ride heads to Ft. Bragg which is often mistaken for the Ft. Bragg in North Carolina.
We are almost to San Francisco and hope to see you out at Scoma's or on the ride Sunday from the SF VA.
Great day to ride a bike
Some fun facts on Eureka:
Eureka's Pacific coastal location on Humboldt Bay adjacent to abundant Redwood forests provided a rich environment for the birth of this 19th century seaport town. Beginning more than 150 years ago, miners, loggers, and fishermen began making their mark in this pristine wilderness of the California North Coast. But the area was already occupied by small groups of indigenous peoples, whose lives were changed forever, if not lost completely, after thousands of years of relative stability in bountiful surroundings.

Hey Jack--finally getting thru--
Hey Jack,
Well, you finally reached Calif.! What a fantastic ride this must be for all of you. All the pics. from yesterday and today are beautiful. Actually, they look very much like upstate New York State. All the military men that you visit along your route must be very thankful for your hard work and cause. I'm glad Jack, that you have time to visit some coffee shops along the way---Gee, how did I know you like COFFEE?LOL
Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge tomorrow will be exciting I'm sure. The Sausalito area and SF area are very beautiful and I'm certain you will have a great time tomorrow night!!
Take Care,
Karylee
