Portland to San Francisco Bike Trip - Day 8

Day 8 Stats - August 26, 2006

• Klamath (rest day)

Rest day in Klamath. Didn't sleep in very late, but it felt luxurious to know that we weren't going to be biking today. Delicious breakfast at the B&B and then we went hiking for about an hour and a half in the Redwoods. We were feeling very lethargic and so grabbed a quick lunch at Subway and then headed back to the B&B for an afternoon siesta. We experienced the biker's curse, which is the necessity of suppressing the urge to explore the cool places we are travelling through in order to conserve energy for the bike trip itself.

It was very relaxing to sit and read in the inn, which was ideally situated on the Klamath river to take in sights of birds, seals, and other marine life going about their daily activities.

The dinner last night was so good, we decided to eat in again, but I didn't think it was as good the second time. Probably because we were tired and nervous about getting back on the road tomorrow. Turned in early and had a solid night's sleep, although we did periodically hear a large predatory mammal of some sort sloshing around in the river during the night...
