Day 19 Brookings, OR (Brookings Inn) to Elk Prairie State Park, CA
Today’s miles: 66
Miles to date: 845
Days left to ride: 22
Today we broke our run of no rain. It was cold, rainy, and foggy when we got up and rode out from the hotel. The rain was light but steady and lasted for a couple of hours, but it remained overcast and cold all day. We left the hotel as a group, and we all stopped at the California border for a group photo. From there it was I rode with Mac and Scott for the rest of the day. After the rain stopped, we had some hills to climb so we stopped to remove our rain gear to keep from over heating while climbing the hills. The first climb was about 5-miles and we had to stop and rest a few times while riding up. Near the end of the day, we had a 3 mile climb with a 5 mile decent going down the other side which took us all the way to out camp sites at Elk Prairie State Park.
We rode a lot on 101 but also on some nice quite side roads through some nice neighborhoods.
Here are a few photos from today’s ride:
