Wednesday, Oct 3, 2012 Pacific City to Newport, OR 50 miles

It was a great riding day today!  The day started out at 37 degrees at 8 am and warmed up 5 degrees every hour.  We also had a tail wind over most of the route, which made our 50 miles go by easier.  Could it be we are also getting stronger?

We had some beautiful views all along the route, so the photos below show some of them.  It is difficult to see the distance in photos, but we stopped often just to take it in!

There was a stretch of road that was a long uphill, but we were rewarded with a 5-mile downhill!  How fun!

We stopped at the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, which was just beautiful.

Tomorrow we have a rest day.  My bike needs cleaning and lubing, and we may check out the town of Newport.

    Gotta love the Oregon Trail! We've driven it, and now I want to ride it :))

    I'd like to try a 5 mile downhill - just for the novelty of it. Sounds like a perfect day to me!
