Day 1 – Monday – July 27, 9:00AM

Departed a day earlier than scheduled due to HOT weather inland. Went to

Credit Union to make a payment on the credit card, then headed to Paso Robles to pick up Rudy who

chose to ride his ’08 BMW RS 1200 instead of the FJR 1300. Our “adjusted plan” was to try to ride as far

as Cloverdale on 101 then on hwy 1 via CA 128 to Mendocino or Fort Bragg and stay on the coast as

long as we can before heading inland probably to Grants Pass, Oregon. I worked, It was quite cool in the redwoods along the coast.
