We woke to fog but it went away quickly. This was supposed to be a pretty easy day but it didn’t feel like it. That’s probably due to the logging trucks and the need to continually monitor your rear so you know when to get off the road. I took to the ditch probably a dozen times. Maybe more. I really hate Highway 89, the main north-south road we’re taking. A road with no shoulders is not is not ideal for cycling. Particularly when you have logging trucks all day. The logging truck drivers are real pros and will give you wide berth, if possible. But it’s often not possible, or wise, if they can’t see around a curve. HERE IS TODSY'S ROUTE.
WHO’S RIDING (BRENDA’S BIOS)
CAROL NACON (Martinez, CA) Carol was born in New Jersey, but headed to California to complete her college degree in Accounting and later passing the CPA exam. When she was in college the tuition for a full-time student was $30 per semester. She doesn’t look that old!!! Her jobs moved her around the country. She lived in Kirlkand, WA, Martinez, CA, Gaithersburg, MD (worked in DC) Aiken, SC and then she retired and returned to Martinez, CA where she still owns a home that had been rented all those years. She has 1 daughter and 2 grandchildren, all in Maryland. Carol is a former BAC board member and chair of the Board.
LOIS DUBOIS (Tucson, CA) Lois is a 5th generation Californian and 4 of her grandchildren are 7th generation! How long can they keep this going? Grandmother is applying pressure!!! Lois spent her college years in many places and studying many different disciplines. Here is a thumbnail sketch: first year at University of Redlands studying organ, then to Bogata to study Spanish Literature, back to CA at UC Santa Barbara and finally settling at UC Davis where she received a BA in Anthropology and a MA in Linguistics. WOW. She has 3 sons and 6 grandchildren. As you might expect her hobbies are as varied as her academic training. She loves to scuba dive and does dives nearly every year, favorite destinations are Fiji and Sea of Cortez. She makes quilts for her grandchildren. She grew up on a hog farm and during her 4H years raised lambs, steers, and pigs. Her family of dad, 1 brother and 2 sisters still own and operate the farm.
