I've taken a 6 month career break to help me decide what I want to do when I grow up! This BLOG will record my adventures and chart my progress as I cycle the western pacific coast of the US for Room to Read. Find out what I've been up to and how I'm getting on...

Day 13 report - pt 2

...so on Seven Devils road i am sure there are 7 devilish climbs. These are proper climbs c15% or more in parts i reckon. It was on one of these climbs that i looked up to see a very large bird of prey circling overhead. I imagine it was thinking something like "Oho, whats this? a wildebeast separated from the herd... and moving quite slowly... could be dinnertime soon" Think again Mr Eagle!

So i flew into Bandon in the sunshine...did i say it got nice and sunny after early cloud? Lovely harbour town. I have a slightly arty sunset photo for next photo catch up!

By my calcs (im sure unohu will check if im right ;)) I have now gone c688 miles (from map rather than my gps). So I am over a third of the way there. Possibly more impotantly right now - I have c100 miles in the bank again vs 45 per day. Im looking at two 60 milers before another rest day in crescent city. Woohoo!

PS I pass through Port Orford tomorrow, GW. Should i have heard of the norwegian chippy? possible lunch stop.

    Yes, indeed James, unome! I have 2 columns. One for daily distance and one for accumulative. I make it 686.7
    This is a Himalayas day morning and afternoon. Sun shining.

    Just looked it up the chippy on multimap Jim - it looks incongruous. My 20 mile thumb calculator clearly grossly overestimated the milage! Keep peddaling - you are doing brilliantly - more photos please.
