Here a Bike there a Bike EVERYWHERE a Bike!!




After getting our fill of sea glass we jumped onto Pacific Coast Highway 1 and rode down the coast.  The view is amazing, but the roads wind around sharply.  This can be a fun drive unless you run into 1,000 bikers like we did on our way!

 After this trip I am not a fan of bicyclists!  They always seemed to pop up as we were trying to turn on sharp corners uphill next to the ocean cliffs while giant trucks sped down the hill toward us. (Highway 1 is only 2 lanes)  They rode in the middle of the road or two or three thick making it impossible to pass them.  I should congratulate them on their determination to make it up some of those hills, but when you are the car in a line of five or more putzing behind them and you see others making some dangerous decisions just to get their speed to 10 mph, that is the last thing on your mind!  I am not exaggerating when I tell you we encountered on average at least two bicyclists every mile!  Apparently this is a popular road for people to bike!   

I want to do my part and not cause frustration or unsafe conditions, so  I am pledging not to ride my bike on Highway 1 unless they put in a bike trail.  I thought that was important to mention just so we are clear as to why you will never see me biking on this road! (and of course that is the only reason I will not be biking those miles and miles of uphill climbs – not because I get winded riding around the block!)

Out West Trip - Day One

Image
Saturday, June 16 - Day 1 Travel to Mitchell, South Dakota
Starting your day at 2:15 am is one thing. Driving in the pouring rain is another. Driving through a lightning storm in the wee hours and having all of the street lights turn off because the sky is lit up like it’s high noon with a cloudless sky from lightning is yet another.
Other then the storm, seeing a bald eagle, seeing a giant iron cattle head sculpture on the side of the road, seeing hundreds of white windmills in large open fields in the fog (which seemed really spooky and made me think of a sci-fi film where someone would just wake up one day in the middle of that and not know how or why they were there - it was a long drive and I had a lot of time to make up a story in my head and share with Ry- lucky him!), and stopping in a town called Jackson for lunch, our travels were not too eventful driving from Michigan to South Dakota. The scenery was always changing so that helped. No one puked and everyone was in a good …
