Oregon Coast Bike Route

SAturday September 11th 20 We did not spend much time in Tillamook,There were crowds of people at the cheese factory, I guess thats what people do when they get to Tillemook Factory and cheese, I don't know, Anyway we went to Pelican Brewery and had a Beer and turned in, We did have real good Fish and chips from a food truck in Garibaldi. We left Tillamook fairly early, since the breakfast the Hotel served a burrito wrapped in paper, there was something really hot and I could not eat it. I remember the breakfasts on past rides, IT is what it is and we had some cheese and flatbread at abreak down the way, WE left Tillamook on a beautiful sunny day and the road took us through farmland untill we met a potholed gravel road with some cowfaced steep grade, I had to resort to turbo just once to get me over a hump,luckely we soon met the paved road along the mudflats of Netarts Bay, Many people were clamming,We stopped at whikey creek Fishhatchery for a break and a bite to eat, The long 900 ft. climb was coming up, we passed the trail to cape Lookaut, but did not feel like hiking the trail,There were beautiful views of the ocean below and and there will be photos posted, The down hill was long and very fast with no bike lane or shoulder, But drivers were polite and passed when safe. However when we got to the flat road two yokels in pickups reved their motors and spewed diesel fumes over us as they passed, We passed cape Kiwanda with big Hotels, tons of cars in the parking lot and lots of people, it was another 3 miles to P.C, which is not your typical Tourist town,checked into our cute motel, we were very hungry and went to a sleeze bar,because of the best oysters and dory caught cod and it was the best. Af
ter lunch we took a ride to Bob Straub state park. we stopped at the launch ramp aqnd watched guys in drift boats fishing for salmon. on the way back we ran into a place offering camel rides. Tomorrow on to Depo Bay

  1. Dinner sounds delightful. Still can’t believe those guys in the pickup.
    The skies are so blue. You have been blessed with good weather (‘cept a little fog).
