Day 15...Home

I completed my ride today. A big thank you to my wife and daughter. They supported me endlessly.

The ride distant ended at 940 miles which is about 62.6 miles a day (100K per day). I ate really well during these past few weeks but ended up losing eight pounds of body weight.

Day 14. Heading Home

The final push home is tomorrow. We crossed the SF Bay via the Golden Gate Bridge today. It was really windy
so it made it tough handling a bike with panniers. I am staying in Pacifica tonight and will climb over the Santa Cruz Mountains tomorrow. My bike computer tells me I have ridden 882 thus far..two weeks of riding.

More of Day 7

Just finished the last part of the ride..weather was decent. The miles from Gold Beach to Brokings were beautifully taxing

Day 7 Closing in on the California Border

Almost to the Oregon _ California Border...my bike computer says that I have ridden 375 miles.

Day. 4 - 6

We had coastal fog the past three day so drying out the tent and gear is a problem.. hopefully we will see the sun soon.

Day 3 - 6

We have ridden about 350 miles thus far. The coastal fog has been pretty heavy so drying out is not easy

The last 2 days were fairly long days. We averaged about 65 miles a day. Saturday's weather was hot but today the normal cool coastal fog returned to the Oregon coast. Tomorrow we will ride to Honeyman State Beach.

Day 1. Part 2

I received a special gift from my wife and daughter for my trip..they are the best!!!!

Day 1 Astoria to Nelalem State Park

Great first day. We dropped rental van off and rode about 45 miles. There is a lot of traffic on the coast as it is Labor Day weekend. The weather is fantastic!
