Cannon Beach, Oregon





Say what???? !!!!!





Cannon Beach


Donnie and Chris


Day 7 = 28.8 miles
Total = 261.7 miles

Went to the local bike shop that was nice enough to receive Donnie's fedex from REI. The name was Bikes and Beyond and I highly recommend everyone to do business with them if you are in the Astoria area. I also got a new handlebar bag. My other one just wasn't staying secure enough to not rattle constantly.

On the way out of town we ran into another cycle tourist.....a guy by himself, Chris. He was going down to San Francisco. He was having some mechanical issues so we directed him to our new fav bike shop.

Nice ride south. Looking at the elevation map of the ride today, we were expecting a very steep climb on part of the route....turns out we should have paid more attention to the distances and not just the rise. It wasn't particularly steep but it was long. I only stopped to rest then kept onward. I didn't walk at all......progress!!!

Settled into a really nice camping spot (with laundry for a bonus) with bunnies and chipmunks running around. Went into town for supplies and dinner. Ran into Chris from this morning again! Small world.
