Hello from the Arcata Bottom

It's beginning to be cycling season. Time to get back into those bright jackets and warm gloves and head out to the Arcata Bottom. Young calves love to greet you at the fence, hoping you'll be there with treats--but don't do that! Just talk to them. They're so cute!

The daffodils are blooming and this is "The Bottom" at its best. Time to let the sun dry our moldy skin. Start your ride at the Arcata Plaza, where you'll find a good selection of options for your morning joe. My favorite place for breakfast is the Big Blue Cafe, for a simple one-egg breakfast that includes the best chile beans. Nice complimentary protein for a bike ride.

See you at Mad River Beach!
