This was a hot day and pretty calm. Id been chatting to a couple of cyclists at breakfast who were a little bit full of it (and had also tried to diddle the motel) so I was a little pleased with myself for taking them to pieces on the way out of fort bragg. id only done 17 miles the day before so i was frisky!
Id enjoyed fort bragg and also enjoyed a wee second breakfast in mendocino.
Although there were no monster climbs there were more than a few nasty headlands to get over and "the one" has steeper grades than 101.
I came across a married couple who were cycling and camping and after trying to speak spanish at the man discovered they were from Turkey. Burhan (the bloke) was very friendly and as we parted he shouted "I Like Scotland" Yeeeeeees!. Later as i had stopped for lunch in a beautiful spot called Elk I returned the compliment as he rode by "I Like Turkey" - Hands across the ocean! (remember that Rab C?!)...tbc

I can't remember the Rab C moment right now, but I'll watch some of the episodes again!
