Well, I had a train ticket from Emeryville, CA to Denver, CO for this morning. The train departure time was 09:50, and I arrived @ 09:15, only to be told that it was too late to check my bike and my luggage. The woman at the ticket window was quite confrontational and cantankerous--I don't think she enjoys her job much. Fortunately, I was able to switch my ticket to tomorrow without any $$ penalty. So, one more night in the bay area. I've decided not to go back into SF, and just spend the night in Berkeley, since it's closer to the train station (I won't have to ride the BART in the morning).
It feels really weird not riding today (or, not riding much). I've become accustomed to my daily routine of getting up, eating my oatmeal w/raisins, striking camp, and then spending the better part of my day riding. I feel a little restless and lazy. I've been spending most of the afternoon in the Berkeley Public Library, using the free wifi and catching up on my email, blogging, facebooking, etc.

Day 28 (Monday 6/7/2010) - Richardson Grove State Park (Garberville, CA) to MacKerricher Beach State Park (Fort Bragg, CA)
57.6 miles.
Wow. Two huge climbs--one to 2000 ft. and the other to about 1000 ft. Then, just when I thought the climbs were over, I realized that this section of coast is nothing but up-and-down.
Gorgeous day. I returned to the coast after a few day inland in the Redwoods. My day off really helped--felt much stronger today. I'm getter better and reading my body. I still need to keep hydrated, though. I think dehydration is my biggest enemy at this point--it saps me of strength and then the riding becomes misery.
All-in-all, a great day.
