2010-11-13 Bike Ride

Rode from Bloomfield out to the coast, around Bodega Bay, back up Coleman Valley, pastry stop in Occidental. From pedaling through western Sonoma, to the surf crashing along the rocks of the Pacific coast, to rolling hills that go on forever, to fast descents through the redwood groves, to hangin' at the Union Hotel with pastries and coffee in the incredibly quaint little town of Occidental, the whole day was one big "Wow. People fly in from all over the world to be tourists here. And I live here."

All the pictures taken from the bike. They're snapshots, not art.

GPS log of the path coming in a bit.

At Coleman Valley Rd and Joy Rd, apparently the residents have tired of being asked "which way to the ocean"
