We found ourselves in mendocino california two days ago, a small town with amazing veiws and people, We imediatly found the local surf spot tucked in a small cove right in town. After using the internet for a short time at the local coffee shop moody's, ryan headed to surf and i went searching for a bike shop to replace my almost bare trailer tires and front tire on my bike. I found with help from locals a shop called Catch A Canoe & Bicycles Too! www.catchacanoe.com/ . I was helped by jason and blake, both very awesome and patient guys. Jason looked at my rig and was able to get me exactly what i needed for the trailer and the bike, If anyone is ever in mendocino, cycling through or just there for vacation, stop in its a great shop run by solid folks!! thanks again jason and blake!! I headed to the local post office to pick up two packages from two very lovely people in my life filled with awesome goodies!! Then headed back to town to surf with ryan, the surf was smallish but with clear "tropical esc" water and just fun.We stayed outside of mendocino at van dam state park, right next to a beutifull cove where the new moon hung like a finger nail in the sky. We then rode to manchester state park, not the best state parks here in california, just an open field with lumps of dirt and a picinic tabel, ryan attempted to surf out in really foggy water and heavy white water, and was succesfull for a while, i opted to hang out, not a strong enough paddler and surfer yet. We stayed the night and rode about six miles into point arena where we are now, using the information super highway! thanks for reading our jargin!
