Leggett to Fort Bragg-48m

We started the morning with a trip to the drive-through (I can't bring myself to write thru) tree.

Which we sort of walked through :-)

Then it was time to descend out of Leggett, before climbing right back up again, before whizzing down, then ascending again. In the early morning sun, ahead of any cars it was a spectacular couple of hours to Westport. 

We got swept by the sweeper, much to his delight, aided on the downhills by his er heavier bike :-)

As we left the trees we were back on the coast again, evading the ever-unpopular sea mist. And getting acquainted with our new friend, Highway 1.

It's been such a switch off these last two weeks and 912miles, magical times for us.

On arriving at Fort Bragg, Steve and Geoff were busy with their meeting, on the terrace, overlooking the ocean, checking their beers still tasted ok. They seem to be having a whale of a time.

So we took a walk into town to sample some ice creams, which we need to do more of! 

People are unbelievably friendly here. Cars stop even when it's on green, to let us cross, a lady told me she loved my pink trainers in Safeway and another lady exclaimed 'wow, cute couple' as we strolled by!

Halloween is in all the shops, these guys have decided to dress up as The Birds (sorry about that, 8pm is late for me to be awake blogging haha).
