May 26, day 23 Fort Bragg to Van Damme Beach State Park
Starting odo 7195
We get up, eat the continental breakfast, pack up then go to the bike
shop to replace my freewheel. They are located in a kind of upscale
old wooden building that has been made into a mall.
I get a new freewheel, chain and freewheel remover, plus labor because
I let them do the work. We will see how it all works out.
We eat Lunch at eggheads restaurant, but we get breakfast!
The plan for the day is basically to make it a rest day, so for the
next few hours we putz around the town, looking at shops, doing stuff
at the post office, shopping in the hardware store. Shyam gets some
pepper spray as he seems to attract dogs pretty well.
Fort Bragg turns out to be an interesting town, and we finally leave
at about 5 o'clock.
We ride the 11 miles to Mendocino and look around. The coastline is
very beautiful, and the little town is interesting looking. We
finally eat at an ice cream/pizza parlor. At about 8:15 we leave for
the nearby Van Damme Beach State Park and get there at twilight, set
up camp, and retire to our tents.
