Tour of the Unknown Coast - Ferndale, CA May 11, 2013

Tour of Unknown Coast, Ferndale CA 100 miles, 9400 ft elevation 11.2 Avg TZ=3:09

Bruce and I pulled the Bambi 7.5-8 hours to Ferndale CA on Friday and parked it in the Fairgrounds.  There was a pasta dinner served and we got checked in.  Mark Wendt who has ridden this ride several times was there and filled us in on what to expect during the ride.

The morning was cool and foggy and our first 10-15 miles include a pretty good headwind.  Eventually, we got to a beautiful section of treed highway through the Avenue of the Gods.

Ride Around Clark County (RACC) -May 4,2013

100 miles, 4888 ft. Elevation gain 14.3 Avg. 4:08 TZ  -Bruce & Teri Allan, Petra and Tony

The weather is fantastic...sunny and in the 80's.  Bruce & Teri Allan, Petra and I rode Ride Around Clark County.  Bruce and I did the 100 miler in preparation for the Tour of the Unknown Coast next weekend.  Teri and Petra opted for the 65 miler.

The route is beautiful with the usual rollers.  Only one local Yahoo in a pick-up honking his horn and being a jerk...so below average.  Weather was stellar but there was quite a bit of wind the last 20-30 miles.
