The lost coast loop
I've been checking out the next map and have spotted an optional extra section. It adds 40 miles to the overall and is a 70 mile section with 8500 ft of climbing (c2800m) it has next to no traffic and winds through redwood groves with some mountain views.
Decision required by sunday morning. Im thinking it would be a shame not to while im here and the bike shop man reckons the climbs ahead on the main route aint so bad.
What do you reckon folks?
Redwoods +1
