Day 8: Newport, OR to Yachats, OR

9/10/2013

The shortest day of my ride follows one of the longest with this 23-miler down the coast to Yachats (pronounced Ya-hots), a frequent choice amongst Top 10 travel destinations in the World.  The People's Coast Classic will hang out in Newport for lunch before our casual spin to Yachats.

Yes, we're drinking beer before we ride, and yes, the guy in the background is for real

Willard had John Maier dip his beard in his beer, to "activate" the yeast in preparation for today's ride

Perfect day between Newport & Yachats

I thought Spalding made footballs

I thought these guys were Outta Business but I think they were just Outta Gas

Everyone together now.... Ya-hots

Did you actually get Gibson to wear a Colliers Jersey? Your caption suggests this but it's hard to believe. Enjoying the updates and pics from the road. Scott

    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 Jeff.fredericks@outlook.com
