Oh, It's all down hill out of here!

This morning we woke up a bit later then normal but it was ok, it was suppose to be all down hill to Groveland. We gathered our things and packed our bags, said goodbye to Joel and hit the road. We knew that we had a little hill to climb and then it was suppose to be down hill, and it was, for a bit. We went up to 8500ft and then flew down to 7500 feet and then had to climb back up to about 8300, WTF! Does know one from the west coast understand the concepts of down hill and flat, because it looks like they don't get it to me. I don't know, maybe I, a mid-west boy need to make a guide for dummies to riding your bike in the west, because someone needs to set the story straight and I guess the locals can't fathom it so they have to bring in a consultant. Well at the top of the other hill I stopped to take a pee and wait for Kelly. It wasn't long and we heard a familiar voice, "Hey slow pokes" it was Joel he had caught up. I guess we got one more day of riding together. The rest of the ride was rolly and there was a pretty big down hill and Joel and I got separated from Kelly. We thought it was because of traffic or just because she didn't want to join our draft line. Joel and I were really moving down the hill. So we waited and it took a little longer then normal and finally when Kelly rolled up to the turn out she didn't look good. We asked what was wrong and while she was crying she told us a bee had flown into here helmet and stung her before she could get stopped and take it off. So I looked at it and sure as could be she had a stinger in her head. Joel handed me a tweezers and I pulled it out. It looked to be already swelling and we could only hope that she didn't have an allergic reaction since there wasn't any medical around. But Kelly's tough and she rode it out. We had one more hill and then a huge down hill to the turn off were we stopped at the gas station to grab a bite to eat and bid farewell to our new friend. At the corner we went right towards San Fran and Joel went left into the valley to enjoy some more beautiful wilderness. The rest of the ride wasn't too bad. It continued to be rolly but we had some amazing down hills, Kelly calls them scary and rides her breaks but I love them. As we dropped elevation we could feel the temperature rise and it got hot for the last 20miles and stayed that way till the sun went down. When we got to town we ate some ice cream and found this really weird "motel" where you rent trailer houses, little cabins or tents and if you had your own tent it was only $25, ha only. We set up camp and went to 2 guys pizza. The food was good but I don't think it set well with Kelly or I, we spent quite a bit of time on the toilet. The rest of the night was spent trying to figure out our escape plan from Cali. Unfortunately we didn't get that great of sleep since at about 10pm all sorts of people decided it was time to have a party! Oh well, thanks for your support!
