My apologies for not updating yesterday but we had no internet access and also things got a bit crazy.  We rode the "alternate" route down to the Lost Coast through Petrolia.  It was an amazing and awesome experience but also quite challenging (as many awesome experiences are) and it may take some time to process.  It was a very challenging two days for my team, a lot more challenging than we've had so far.  I think that in the long run they will all look back on it as their favorite part of the trip but there's no question it was a challenge.  I ended up having to rescue someone from off the road at about  7 pm after hammering 11.5 miles back to camp to pick up the van.  (Their back brake was messed up).  It was a difficult road which I highly recommend for anyone experienced in cycling but for the same reason wouldn't recommend to any beginners.  Mostly the issue was that the road quality was really torn up which is something you have to have some experience to deal with.  However the road was amazing and the views were incredible.  I didn't take many pictures because we were so focused on getting the job done but I'll show you what I have.  I enjoy being out on the road so very much.  Today after our long 80 mile ride I got to play miniature golf in the dark at the RV park for free and drink a beer and it was paradise.
