Day 19 - Jenner, CA to Marin Headlands (Sausalito), CA - 79.8 miles

After 10 consecutive nights in the tent, just 3 miles away from number 11, and Steph even saying the tent is "starting to feel like home," we found ourselves at the River's End last night. After inquiring about last minute walk-in, teacher, biker, student, and even cash discounts, we got an ocean front cabin with views of the sun setting behind the rocky cliffs and sea lion colonies for $120. We still cooked dinner on the stove, but being on our cabin deck for the sunset and sleeping in a bed were much needed amenities after a long 10-night streak. Needless to say, we got a late start, but somehow exceeded our goal. The "how" may have been our new friend John (we'll call him Jon 2.0 - a "real biker" as Austin would say), who was out for a pre-race warm-up ride and became our Marin County tour guide. He said, "Put the map away, I'll bring you the scenic way. There'll be some hills, but I'll push you. I'll just grab your rack. Bike rack." He gave us the local scoop on the towns we had just biked through and yes, he did literally push Steph up the hill (not because she couldn't do it) but because he enjoyed making fun of Austin as they sped past. Austin tried to remember a time when Jon 1.0 stayed with him up a hill.
