The Big Idea

Folly by definition is a foolish action or idea, the word absurdity and phrase "lack of sense" seem to continually arise. But what would life be like without these follies? Why not embrace these ideas and get a little nutty! This is my journal for those adventures, and along the way I hope to meet new people, take the path less traveled, have some fun, and spread the story of this sustainable journey we call life! Here you’ll find short anecdotes about my life, links to enlightenment, and opinions on how to have fun! I would love to hear about your folly, so feel free to e-mail me, I might just post them, and thanks for visiting!

Day 15 June 8th

Day 15 June 8th

(Sarah check these sweet shades out!!!)

Stats: 20.15 Miles, 2:08 Hours, 9.4 MPH Average, 30.5 MPH Top Speed, 60’s and sunny!!

So today we didn’t ride much. We have been on the road for over 2 weeks without a day off or even an easy day, and we needed one. We woke up late, and rode a leisurely 20 miles past the barking sea lions, you can see them if you look closely at the picture, to Arcata and checked in at the Arcata Inn.

We decided to forget about the schedule and just relax a bit. Arcata is a pretty cool little town with a quaint shopping district and cute downtown area. We walked around for a while, Molly shopped, we dropped off our laundry at a cleaner, and had a big dinner at the local brew pub.

The hotel were staying at is an old historical hotel from the late 1800’s and has that cool old time feel to it with the iron claw bath tub and hand made glass windows.

The oldest movie theatre in the U.S. is also in Arcata, and Molly and I were lucky enough to catch "Sex and The City tonight!"

Be aware men, this movie is super long, so bring something to do. Overall the day off was great, we had sunshine and tons of free time away from the bikes. Tomorrow we’ll see how things go though to get us back on track!
