Day 7: Tillamook, OR to Newport, OR

9/9/2013

At 83 miles, this is the longest scheduled day in Oregon or Washington. Mostly traversing the coast, I'll start with the Three Capes Scenic Route to Cape Meares, Cape Lookout, and Cape Kiwanda, then cycle through Pacific City and Lincoln City, before finishing at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport.

Nice ride out of Tillamook past the 3 Capes
Sort of a weird night.  Woke up to go to the bathroom and couldn't go back to sleep for about an hour. Then I woke up all stressed out and I'm not even sure why.  I just needed to hit the road.  Now that I have, I'm back in my "zone."

I'm feeling really good at the rest stop.  Cleat re-positioning and a little different riding technique seems to be doing the trick with the achilles.  Knee feels good too.  Long way to go though, so still plenty of time for me to complain about something.

    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.
