Day 10 report - Garibaldi to Lincoln city pt 2

...as i was saying, the first hour was a joyous 16 miles. The innocuous waft of a breeze was from my back today for a change and even a small tailwind makes all the difference. Also, my map directed me off the 101 along a very quiet coastal road. Oh, and the sun was back!

After the first hour the climbing started but i didnt mind. Oceanside and Netarts offered stunning beaches and Sandlake had a sand lake! Really, it was amazing. So a triumphant 44 mile morning it was .The afternoon miles were to be all for the bank. Then lunch came...

lunch itself was ok but i wish i could get a simple pasta with green salad somewhere.

I always finish lunch with a trip to the toilet to apply sunblock and chamois cream - both very necessary. However, this time my sunblock slipped off the cistern int o the bowl...comedy try to catch .moment..AHH!...had to be jettisoned...and even worse i returned to my bike to find a flat rear wheel! ...tbc...
