This is belated, but two weekends ago I rode down the CA redwood coastline from Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park to Trinidad. I've camped up there for twenty years, but this was the first time I had taken a bike.
The views, as always, were spectacular. But on my bike, I was
in the redwoods. From a car, I'm indoors watching TV. BTW, I pulled over across the highway from the bull elk in the second photo to eat a Clif bar. He was already eating, so I figured I would eat with him. But he gave me the stinkeye and began tossing his head around (a hostile gesture), intentionally catching grass up in his rack in the process (preparation for war), so I snapped my picture, climbed back in the saddle, swallowed my Clif bar whole, and considered myself lucky.
The reward at the end: breakfast at Trinidad Bay Eatery, which I highly recommend.
