Greetings from Garberville, California, 200 miles north of San Francisco, where we spent our Sunday chillin' in an air-conditionned hotel room and gearing up for tomorrow's climb up the infamous Leggett Hill, our biggest ascent of the entire trip. To quote from our guide book: "Cyclists talk about Leggett Hill up and down the coast, increasing its proportions as they go. Contrary to popular rumor, abandoned touring bags do not line the road, nor are there graves of cyclists who did not make it." My mom and dad arrived early this morning so mom will be carrying our bags and we will be without any extra weight, but 1,800 feet is still intimidating.

I just added a bunch of pictures from the last week, so feel free to scan them on the preceding three pages. (Click "Older Posts" at the bottom of the page.) Thank everyone for your support and enthusiasm for us. It means a lot!
