For Memorial Day weekend, we went to Sea Ranch in Gualala, CA for a nostalgic stay in a locality we had come to truly enjoy during our time in California. We rented a house on the coast with our friends Wei Chiu and Rebecca Parker. Entering that weekend I was in as good physical shape as ever in my life. I was biking strongly and loving it. Wei, Scott and I took several rides together (although they went farther than me the first day). The last ride of the weekend took us south on Route 1 to Skaggs Springs Road, east into the hills, and northwesterly back to Route 1. I rode strongly, loved the scenery and the companionship (they were very kind to wait for me at many junctions), and had energy to burn at the end as I flew up Route 1 back to Sea Ranch.
