Day 46 Carpentiera to Leo Carillo Beach (48 miles)


Carpentiera is a nice town. Clean streets, good signs, excellent bike paths and nice restaurants. The campsite was decent apart from the train in the night and the arrival of a new camper around 3am. To be honest I thought it was 2 campers as I was hearing a conversation going with to different voices. When I awoke I only saw 1 tent that wasn't set up before I went to bed so I thought they must be sharing. When the owner of the tent woke up and emerged he finished his conversation with himself, packed up and left.

2 flat tyres put a dampener on the ride as the road and scenery had been good. That makes 5 in total on this trip. Although I still have the same inner tube. I had my first brush with the law today when I had taken a wrong turn onto the freeway. He wasn't happy but I survived. One more day (officially) and I will have finished what I set out to do. Ride from Astoria, Oregon to Los Angeles, California. I say officially as I may do some more riding but that wasn't what I had set myself at the start.
