Day 2 of our bikation was 56 miles from Cloverdale to Willits with 2700' of climbing, most of it towards the end. The predicted temperature was up to 96F but the wind was quieter than yesterday.
We started by wandering through vast vineyards on quiet, smooth roads. Wonderful.
Our first stop was a country store in Talmage which was a mistake because Ukiah was just around the corner with a much bigger selection. The store had a small Mexican food counter in it where a lovely lady made me a veggie burrito and Amber a cheese quesadilla.

Shortly after Ukiah we started riding on the shoulder of the 101 which was awful. Some idiot Caltrans employee had put the rumble strip right in the middle of the shoulder, making it largely unusable. Here's a video of the descent to the Willits exit.
Willits is a nice small town with an expresso stand which Amber saw first. It was a pleasant surprise.

The Super-8 here was a little better but they were still playing the no laundry, no breakfast scam despite charging a ridiculous amount for a room. I really must stop using Super-8. I think they've got even worse since being bought up by Wyndham.
While we were waiting for our laundry we ate dinner at El Chicano - I highly recommend it.
