Day 22
48/63
Manzanita shrub.
Here's just another day in a cycle of real life. A cycle tour that saw, my two compasses, Nicola and Hyla, and a I amazingly fill in the empty spaces on a crossword. That meaning a cross state ride from Bakersfield to South Lake Tahoe, CA. There we ceremoniously jettisoned the one spice girl back to life in Ontario, Canada. That up and down story can be found further back via the “older post” button. Father’s days!
These pages are of Hyla and I continuing and taking in some pretty amazing highs and "ohs" and trying to chase, thankfully, a never ending horizon.
Or at least for now Portland, Oregon, U.S.A.
We've had incredible luck the whole trip to be riding on fresh tarmac (with very little interference from actual construction) for more than can wish for.
As in any Tour de France that gets a redo of the years chosen route.
Heights of despair.
With the miles we've travelled there are endless road and roadside attractions to take in.
Ever more enjoyable when you have, and we've had a lot, wide shoulders like this.
Here we've been taking in a lot of the perilous battle of
"Man versus Nature"
Oh the Wonderful World of Wood.
I'm not one to referee this fight!
Isn't that a nice view?
Isn't that nice weather?
Even looks like we might be going downhill!!
HOT
Our plan to pitch camp somewhere in McCloud didn't pan out in our favour. We pushed on and enjoyed an extra rest day in Mount Shasta.
