Lots of up & down as this 73-mile route skirts the dunes and past Sea Lion Caves before rolling through Florence & Reedsport, past several lakes & over the Umpqua River to North Bend, situated on Coos Bay.
Leaving Yachats
When I was 8, this place was as big as Disneyland
Gotta get me a set of these panniers
Umpqua River Lighthouse
Winchester Bay from the top of Lighthouse Road - can you spot the lighthouse?
Late lunch at The Old Stables in Lakeside, 15 miles from the finish
Lakeside Airport (seriously) and its grass runway on the right side of the photo
McCullough Bridge ahead: "Shuttles provided for your safety". Hmmm, why don't I just take a shuttle from Canada to Mexico?
OK, it was a little hairy, but I survived the bridge & made it to North Bend
Don't forget, North Bend is south of South Bend and neither has anything to do with the other Bend
