Average Speed 12.6mph
Total Ascent 1482m
My legs were ok this morning - quite glad of a flat warm up but not too bad. what really suffered yesterday was my hands and elbows. A lot of road buzz going on down those descents and a new injury watch for me to think about. New gloves and maybe new bar tape in San Fran methinks.
Not many pictures from today as I was getting these miles done over another couple of nasty climbs. These were not as bad as Lost cost but still pretty challenging.
I passed so many lovely river valley scenes I shouldve taken a snap of but never mind. The day started off with a bit of wildlife. I was cycling along and surprised myself when I whooped - "wild Turkey woo hoo!) Wild turkey it was!
At breakfast I'd been told that this road (The Avenue of Giants) was also known as Big Foot road and there were some souvenir shops along the way - didn't see him though.
For the last two climbs I was on Highway 1 for the first time - Woo hoo!
Finally, finally I made it over the last big climb for a while back onto the coast...
I have some more pics to share but my time at the library is running out. Another time.
At Westport I thought I was having another no dinner and no blogging day. Thankfully the local shop did big pizzas (and ale) and the very kind old gentleman who runs the Westport inn let me use his laptop for a 5 minute post - I didn't want to take advantage.
Recycling his old Oregon photos again folks ;)
