Day 11: Arizona Beach, OR to Brookings, OR

9/13/2013

I hug the coast today, rolling over the Rogue River Bridge and into Gold Beach. No other towns to speak of before Brookings, the biggest town since Astoria, and my last stop before leaving Oregon. After 6 days of supported group riding where I had the good fortune to meet many great supporters of the Arthritis Foundation cause, it will be just me and my panniers again after today, until I get to San Francisco.

Internet connection and a view

Awesome morning

Schools of fishermen

Into the hills, off the main drag

Downhills are funner

Let's try a panorama

More amazing Oregon coastline

Biking the Coast

Whaaaat!?!?

Jeff - your opportunity to get up and talk about Lindsey's challenge & how she is meeting it "head on" is inspiring, as is Lindsey's toughness,positiveness and determination. Then to see people you are just crossing paths with step up to donate to "lend a hand" for Lindsey and all the others that are struggling with the Arthritis challenge, well let's just say it warms the old human heart - BIG TIME!

On August 14, 2013, I'm flying to Vancouver, British Columbia and beginning a 29-day, 1,880-mile bike ride from Canada to Mexico.

On this page you'll find random ramblings before, during, and after my trek down the Pacific Coast. Prior to BikeTheCoast13, I'll blog about my prep, training, and thoughts from the road.
While visiting my blog, I hope you'll offer comments, suggests, and words of encouragement. I'm going to need all the help I can get!

For those who don't know me or my inspiration, please take a moment to check out the Why Now? tab to meet my daughter Lindsey and find out how I got here.

If this site helps or inspires you in any way, I hope you'll consider making a small donation to the cause.

If you'd like to contact me personally, you can email me at Jfredericks@colliersparrish.com
