WT Pacific Coast Riding day 8, Newport to Florence, Oregon

54 miles, 2,300' of elevation gain, temp range of 43-65 degrees under sunny skies.
   There is a pattern to our riding days. Cool temps to start out and then beautiful perfect riding conditions all day long. Views of the coastline dominated today's ride with many groups of seals along the way.

   We stayed on the 101 most of the day with good shoulders and moderate traffic. Pull outs were often and allowed us many opportunities for picture taking. We arrived in Florence before 1 and that allowed us to go see the historic downtown area and spend some time at a local coffee shop. Riding is up and down all day long but no heavy hills.
