WT PacificCoast Riding Day 11, Gold Beach, OR to Crescent City, CA

55 miles, 2,800' of elevation gain, temp range 45-68 degrees under bright blue skies all day!

   Today's weather was outstanding with clear blue skies and no where near as cold. We were all down to shorts and a light jacket by the first sag stop.
   The views of the Oregon Coastline remained quite striking with many off shore rock formations which continued into California. The route had us riding on 101, the Coast Hwy. The shoulders were quite excellent and the traffic a little lighter than some of the previous days.
  I did manage one high speed descent which was outstanding as the roads were quite good with  gentle sweeping turns. I came on this bike tour for the views and the views is what we had today.
   We are staying at a waterside hotel today with the harbor right across the street. A nice stroll with gorgeous weather and I'm sure we will enjoy another wonderful Patty meal.
