Day 13 Mendocino to Gualala

left town about 9:00, nobody in Mendocino takes debit or credit, just so you know. this guy that owned the cafe showed us some new Groovy titanium handle bars he just got, we rode to the end of Mendo to a bike shop called Catch a canoe and bicycles to the guys there let me use the tools i needed to shut my bike up from its bitchy crybaby sounds it was whimpering from the bottom bracket. sweet shop, ran into a 50 year old guy who was touring from Oakland up to Seattle then back down the Continental Divide, really nice man. chatted fro a bit with him, left the shop at about 1:00 rode to Elk where we enjoyed some "gut sludge" rode onto Gualala that borders mendocino county and sonoma county. total of 60 miles for the day tired, tried to find a place to watch the Stanley Cup game but no one watched hockey there. We rode on down to the river and camped , no fire tonight. just sleep.. the ride today was amazing, windy up and down all day it felt like a chunk of Scotland or Ireland. grassy plains on the cliffs of the ocean.
