Greetings from the Oregon Coast
It's not raining and I am starting to get the hang of this!
We are a little more than halfway! I can't believe it. I get up each day and ride down the coast, and am up to 50 mile days. That I can get out there and do the hills and do long days--cool! It feels good to be going along and just ticking off the miles. There are things I like: great views at the top of a hill, fast downhills with a smooth shoulder, some sun/some clouds for the not too hot rides. There are some things that are not as cool: heavy traffic, pot holes and huge bumps, people yelling from pick-up trucks, weird narrow bridges, and tunnels (not a fan!) There are some things that are downright scary: log trucks, passing cars coming at you on narrow roads, ocean cliffs with no guard rails!
I wrestled the camera from Dagwood for a photo of him.
We have not yet seen any whales. Dagwood may demand a rebate of some sort if Oregon fails to produce its highly promoted whales.
Tomorrow we shoot for a 60 mile ride from Bandon to GoldBeach. Pray for tailwinds!

you go girl..
Hey you two,
Before you know it, you will be tackling "the streets of San Francisco" you are going so fast!
I would like to see those people who have yelled at you to ride this ride......those wimps.
Where is that big rock behind Dagwood?
Be safe.
Susan
GO GO GO!
Yay team Dagwood and Cristy! Glad the weather is clearing up for you guys.
Tailwinds! and no more tunnels! or weird bridges, er well or freaky weird anything really.
Also, I'm with Susan - I'd like to talk (or something) to the wimps that talk smack from trucks.
Have a great rest of journey and thanks for battling the netbook to post :)
Hello there!
I keep forgetting to log in and follow you on your adventure!
Hey Cristy, Dagwood finally took you on a cruise, huh? The great Cathlamet Ferry one!!! It's hard to believe that you are more than half way. You are doing GREAT!!! Take care and have lots of fun along the way! Love, Ph
