68 miles, 5,000' of elevation gain, temp range 45 to 57 degrees with a combination of fog, haze and sun.
We came out of the same town of Garberville with fog and damp roads and immediately went into more Redwood stands.we were on and off the 101 for the first 25 miles with varying traffic but once we went onto US Hwy 1, the Coastal Hwy. We went into deep woods with a 4 mile climb followed by a 12 mile descent. Ordinarily, I'm good on the downhills with little trouble but the roads were wet and green from the moss and algae growth that happens in areas with little sunshine. Lots of hairpin turns and it did get cold. I did manage to hit 61 mph on my computer but that had to be a mistake. Or not.
Once we broke out into the sun we were right on the coast enjoying the views and pounding of the surf. Yippie!
