Tomales - where the heck is that? ....

We have baled out of 85°F/30°C plus heat and hills way to steep for over weight ancient cyclists. Northeren California is littered with one horse towns and off-beat people.  Tomales is one of those towns - you can almost see Clint Eastward mossying into town over the parched rang land and hitching his horse to a rail out side our hotel.   We are about 6 miles short of our intended destination and 60 miles north of San Fran'. Our odo is 1227.9.
Although the going is tiring the coastline is fantastic.
The cycling Gods are not shining on us at present, yesterday Pat got a puncture - we could not find the cause - the hole in the innertube was on the rim side not the outside. After 2 more punctures we found that the rim of his back tyre is split. We have made temporary repairs and hope it will survive until SF. The cause we think was gping over a step after have lunch in a closed State Park.
Last night , because of the bike problems we were late arriving in Jenner so opted for  a lodge. The other half was occupied by 2 oldish (maybe65) women. As I was parking up my bike on the balcony  one of the ladies wandered out  and had clearly had a gin & tonic too many, she came forward talking about Scotland and then realised she had invaded our living area and my personal space so backed off.
She came forward again and stumbled all over the place. Idiot. Pat then pointed out that she had an anti Obama bumper sticker - she was a supported of the Republican idiots who have shut down the Government - it explained a lot.
I was not going to mention this but as she was rude to Pat here it is. Wemet a couple of older cyclists going our way - they turned out to be Swiss. They had well laden bikes and went ahead of us while we had morning coffee. We saw them at lunch and as Pat parked his bike near them she said 'have you been sleeping' meaning that we must be slow.Well we are slow - 1200 miles without an overtake. But it is a bit rude to tell us. She was probably the least glamourous cyclist we have seen, ladies of a certain age should probly where support where it is most needed- so if you see someone cycling near you with large pendulous breats - unsupported it could be her.
