77 miles, 3,500' of elevation gain, temp range 39-65 degrees under totally sunny skies.
Lots of climbing today without many ocean views. We did have the opportunity to top at the Nat'l Sand Dunes Park but most of the ride was within forests along the 101 until we followed the Pacific Coast Bikeway which included 7 Devils Road. Perfectly named as we hit 13% grades on several of the 7 climbs and I was pretty toasted by the time we arrived at our hotel. Beautiful views of the Oregon Pacific Ocean in the last couple of miles with a wonderful Best Western on the beach.
Crashing early as most of us were really tired by ride's end. Another wonderful meal by Patty perked us all up again with some funny stories and song after dinner.
