Coastal Vibes

The pacific coast just gets better as we continue our ride south. In Oregon it was filled with beautiful coastal vistas, fellow cyclists and rainforest. As we head into California the road is lined with the giant coastal Redwoods - a sight that is totally indescribable. The scale of these beastly trees is so unreal that it takes actually standing directly beneath one to even begin to comprehend its huge mass. These trees are thousands of years old and give one a feeling of peacefulness in their midst. We were able to camp beneath the Redwoods one night and it was a wonderful feeling to be protected by these huge, ancient trees. The 101 also winds near the coast and through farmland, so it offers pretty much anything desirable. Cycling down the Avenue of the Giants in particular was a fun experience since it is an off-route from the highway. Overall, the California coast has treated us well so far. Now it's into wine country and then San Francisco!
