Although I've rarely seen a bottle of wine per night added to a cyclists diet, it seems a wonderful way to replace calories to me! Somehow still managing an early start (if it was beer, i would have been rolling around groaning), I hit the road. There were some quite challenging sections, and also, as the road followed the coastline quite closely, some rewarding sections also. There were a lot of turkey vultures (someone will have to double check that!) wheeling about in the sky - Were they waiting for me to make a mistake and veer off the road I wonder? I made Bodega Dunes campground mid afternoon, and Guy, Rodney and Ruth were already there, with Mark and Ash arriving later on. We're like a travelling circus now!
