Day 16 Trinidad to Eureka 32 miles(749 miles total)


Canada to Mexico, Day 16: 

We rode 32 miles to Eureka (749 miles total). The bad news is that we had to cut our ride short today, as Pat was feeling under the weather. I blame it on the dang hills we've had, which takes everything out of us. I also blame it on the lack of sun. We haven't really seen the sun since our first few days in Oregon, so it's been about 5 days. Lack of sun=lack of energy and Pat is lacking both. The good news is that hopefully, a short ride today and some rest is just what he needs for him to get back on the bike tomorrow. Summary of the day: broken spokes, people who honk and startle us just to be jerks, no sun, and feeling under the weather are bad; an elk family sighting, rest, flushing toilets, and wine are good!
