Oregon Coast Bike Route

September 12 2021 We left Pacific City and the route folllowd the Nestucca River. Fishermenn are drawn to this river by Steelhead and 50 lb Chinook Salmon. Eventually the road took us back to 101 and we followed it to the town of Neskowin. On one of the ovrooks we met another biker who had started in Canada. Surprisingly he was also riding a riese and mueller bike,and was very happy with it. After we passed the little town the route took us to old Highway 101. it was a delighfull ride through a the very quiet country side along a little river. Soon the 700 foot climb started, but it was a lot easier not as steep as the 900 ft one from the day before.It was a long downhill and finally the route took us back to a main highway which after a few miles spit us out onto 101. We rode in heavy traffic and missed the turnoff to the route with less traffic and rode into Lincoln City on main 101. The ride through town was not fun, Bike lanes non excisting, we made it ok and Found Mo's famous for clam chowder. It was delicious. It was only 15 more miles to Depot Bay, Found our motel. Rode down to the seawall to watch the wild Ocean and saw whales blowing in the distance, Had more clamchowder and a beer at the Sea Hag. Tomorrow to Waldport.
