These two rides were quite enjoyable. I took a train up to Santa Rosa to start the latter two rides of the NorCal Brevet Week, the 400k and the 600k. The 400k would take me up to Arcata, then I'd have a rest day with StuJo, then I'd start on the 600k down to SF.

 |
| Right before seeing these elk, I almost hit a bear on a windy descent. |

 |
| at the control hotel, got some sushi and decided to nap for a few hrs. |
 |
| Charlie meanwhile opted to take cat naps on the side of the road... |
 |
