Ride while staying at the Motel 6 near Coalinga. Got up fairly early and rode the 198 into Coalinga and into the hills beyond. It was fairly windy, and I was surprised at the nature of the initial climb up to where the 198 and the 33 meet. Kept a fairly steady pace through the rolling hills of this ride. Not much to see in Coalinga, although they were getting ready for the Horned Toad Days. Rode beyond town on the 198 up into the western hills, then turned around and headed back. Back at the 198/33 junction, I caught the smell of the cattle feed lot located about 8 miles away. Pretty awful.
Average speed = 17.8 mph. Total mileage = 31.8 mi.
