Head Games-1 Week In

Oh, the fun of biking every day:) Both Steve and I are enjoying the scenery, but the biking is definitely our favorite part. The view from the saddle is a great way to travel and the speed of traveling is so conducive for exploring. I have enjoyed Oregon a great deal seeing the coastline and enjoying the weather. The people seem to pride themselves on being outlawish and a little known state in the country.

Mornings: The earlier we can get on the roads, the better from our vantage point.

Hurdles: A flat tire from thorns in the woods for the Burley that held us back for a couple of hours.
Sunburn- Steve got the worst of it, but we have now moved into the world of sunscreen.
Mosquitos- The place we stayed last night I think might have been heaven for mosquitos. There were about 6 or seven on you at all times.

Bottom line: We are blessed and happy to be in Bandon, Oregon. God Bless.

You guys are doing great! I am following your progress with great anticipation for each new post. Too bad the Pacific City connection didn't work out for ya. I have two other options, one in Sunnyvale, CA, about 5-10 miles outa the way if you're on Hwy 1. I have another connection near LA that might be willing to host you too for a night. Lemme know.
You guys are making fantastic progress and going at a clip that should have in San Diego long before the anticipated 30 days are up. Any ideas on total distance and/or average time?
Talk to you soon.
