During this day of cycling along the Pacific Coast Highway, I rode from Bodega Dunes to Samuel P Taylor Campground in the rain.

Leaving Bodega Dunes

It rained all day whilst cycling, so it was basically head down and get on with it. As such, not a lot to report from the road today.

I was the first to arrive at Samuel P Taylor campground, with Rodney and Ruth a little way behind, and Ash and then Mark behind them. Guy had decided to stay in the previous campground, which is a shame, because he's a great, well, guy. Here's an example of a conversation...

Guy -' My wife, she go crazy'

Me - 'Why's that then?'

Guy -'I said I would be gone for one week, and now it's three months'

Classic !!!
