West Coast Bike Ride: Day 22 Monday July 7th

Sea ranch cafe

What I had there.

B out first. Me making special coffee on tent. Miles of the Sea Ranch development. B bike parked at sea ranch lodge. Go in for nice breakfast in elegant setting; change of scene is fun. Freshened up and applied whiteout in elegant restroom.

Crushed the 25 miles to Fort Ross. Arrived just on time in the open area inside the walls for a wonderful presentation about the place partly in Russian for the Russian family at the next picnic table. Demonstration of the atlatal throwing stick, description of the 4 or 5 cultural communities surrounding the fort,moved inside the warehouse full of skins and incredible array of commodities of the time period. The speaker had spent 15 years as a park ranger near lake baikal in Russia sort of by accident. Very cool hour break from the pedal.

Jenner market for calzone and other items for dinner at bodega bay dunes camp.

Set up and slipped into village of bodega bay for a cold beer and was tempted by the frying seafood but just got some fries.

The calzone was poor earlier at camp anyway.

Six bikers and one hiker in camp.

Shower and rest.
