Hey! Yesterday, we had a relatively short ride. Little rain! Rain, really changes a lot. When the weather is nasty, we bike faster, we take 5 minutes to eat lunch, and we hardly glance at the sights around us. The objective is just to get to the next destination, eat, and pass out. But yesterday, although it was pretty gray, there was no rain! So we took our time, looked at the scenery around us. We went along the Columbia River, until we hit the 1.5km bridge that links Washington to Oregon. When we entered Oregon, we ate lunch at co-op bakery called the Blue Scorcher. They kindly gave our entire group 40% off, since we had biked 40 miles to get there! We ate very well to say the least!
From there we headed to Seaside, where I'm writing from right now. It's a nice town! And we headed down to the beach, watched the sunset, the waves...oooh man it was soo nice to see it! We made fire, took out the acoustic guitar, played some tunes, and celebrated our first day with no rain! A fire, at the beach, with an acoustic guitar, has to be one of the best things in life! All we needed was a clear sky to see the stars at night...
But, I have a feeling there will be many more beach fires on this trip! And our bodies are getting used to this cycling. I couldn't believe how my leg muscles have already started to get firmer! So we're having more and more energy at the end of our rides!
Especially after our 23 mile ride today! That's nothing for us! Sounds like a break!
We'll be camping for the next 3 days, so I dunno if i'll be able to write!
