Average Speed 12.7mph
Total ascent 1336m
This ended up being a little longer than planned but means tomorrow will be a mere 30 miler.
After a fab brekky (see brekky bites post) I set off with wind in my sails. Not literally as there was hardly a puff worth mentioning.
I had a long 7%er climb to deal with first up. I think it was about 5 miles long and on the way up I saw 3 male elk on the roadside. Majestic creatures. No photos sorry.
It wasnt such a hard climb - especially first thing and i paused for a banana at the top. There was a retired guy on a recliner bike whod done a trans am route a year or two ago (3000 miles i think he said!). I dont fancy those bikes much, they never look very stable.
The morning was going well as i ducked off the 101 at a place called klamath. Shortly after this on my way up another climb puncture #3 of the trip struck my rear wheel. I saw the broken bottle of bud too late to avoid and picked 2 pieces out of my tyre...tbc
