Oregon Coasr Bike Route

Sunday September 19 202 , Port Orford to Goldbeach Yesterday's storm had passed and we could see the sun throgh a thin fog.Had a real breakfast and decaf for Mac and got on the bikes. Right away we climbed to a view point, but the ocean was shrouded in fog. we continued on and soon reached Humbug Mountain, We cruised thruogh the very nice campground. The ride up Humbug was very gradual and we enjoyed a long down hill without any shoulder at all. It was Sunday and there were hardly any big riggs. For a long way we rode right along the sea. The surf waas big and wild. At noon we stopped at a picnic area and had some fruit. It was sunny and warm and we sat there for a bit and watched the big breakers. The route took us more inland. It was flat and boring. After several miles we could get onto an alernate road which took us through another posh neighberhood with beautiful housed facing the beach. At first it was sort of a roller coaster ride. This road took us to the Rogue River. There were many boat fishing for Salmon. We rode up a little hill to get to the long beautful bridge and crossed into Goldbeach. Tomorrow we will ride the last 50 miles to Crescent City and the end of our long distance Ride.

  1. What a nice day. I like the “long neck” and can just imagine the “gnarly” ocean.
