Day 5 - Crescent City to Ferndale

Staying ahead of the storm! But not sure for how long. He said it was chilly and windy today. The say the storm is supposed to come tonight so he's curious to see what he'll wake up to.

His first hour and a half this morning was spent climbing. Fun stuff!

He later ran into a local cyclist who told him to take the scenic route (Old 101) as it was more bicycle friendly. He was so happy he did this. What a change of scenery. Redwood trees everywhere. They actually have a sign posted as "Do not approach wild elk". Do people actually do that?

Brent has talked to many people along this ride. A special thanks to the nice lady Brent met at the rest stop who thought it was amazing what he was doing for CAF. She donated what she could to help. She was one of the many people who were inspired by the reasons behind Brent's ride.

Yesterday he had stated that he was already tired of seeing the ocean. I personally cannot imagine that, but in a million years couldn't imagine biking more then 50 miles next to one anyway. All you riders, props to you who can do all this riding. It's amazing to me!

He stated again how he couldn't wait to see his fellow riders in a few days.

Well, I guess that's it for now. Tomorrow could be a more eventful entry with the storm and all but I'd rather it not. :-)

Miles ridden today: 104
