An early start to miss the heat today. The ride along the 395 was amazing - some desert, lots of Mountain Views as I rode through the long Valleys, then through forests and landscapes just like Colorado.
Great views of the Mammoth Lake and Mono Lake.
Arrived early at the KOA in Coleville, so I then rode back to the town of Walker and had lunch with some other bikers.
Finally arrived at the KOA and decided it was too hot for another night under canvas, so I've taken a lodge for the night. Had an excellent and much needed soak in a hot bath…. So much better than a shower.
I grabbed the map book and Garmin and have now planned for the next few days: Redding tomorrow, then a couple of nights with Greg Bickle in McKinleyville, then ride through the Avenue of Giants en route to Ukiah. I will hide there for a couple of nights as it's Memorial weekend here (like a Bank Holiday in the UK) - lots of BBQs and stuff.
Then that leaves me a few days to ride down to Los Angeles and Endex.
