Friday, October 5, 2012 Newport to Florence, OR 50 miles

The days are getting somewhat warmer now, although today we rode next to the beach most of the way.  That makes for a cool wind, but delightful biking.  The scenery continues to be one fabulous postcard after another!  We saw cranes (I think), gulls, and seals today.  There were road signs warning drivers of Elk here and there, but I did not see any.  The roads were rolling, but not too steep, so with a short day, the group started arriving in Florence at 1:30 pm.

Dinner was a treat - pork loin, marinated, with mashed sweet potatoes and a huge salad.  The vegetarians had a tofu dish, and we all had salad.  We all certainly eat well on these trips!!

  2. How typically Oregon ... flashing lights to alert motorists to cars in the tunnel! The scenery continues to be amazing, and I continue to be envious :)) Oregon is a beautiful state, and a perfect place to ride a bike!
