Today we had a dry day! We had a wee bit of rain when we were trying to break camp, but once we got on the road not a drop. Beautiful Day. A fair number of hills. The most elevation gain we have had so far on the trip. The big hills were all before lunch, then rollies into Bay City.

Pretty foggy and overcast before coffee in Seaside. Not much to see in that stretch. We stopped in Seaside for coffee. I thought it was a lovely little town. A bit of a throw back to days gone by. John used his usual charm to find out the best coffee shop in town. Finding it, however to a bit more effort. But it was well worth. A lovely place.

From Seaside we continued on south along the coast. There was some awesome scenery. I believe that the following shot is of Cannon beach, after a long slow climb.

I got a good shot of Young David coming up the climb to the viewpoint. He looks a lot fresher at the end of the climb than I did.

We had lunch in Manzanita. Everyone finally regrouped there and then we headed off to complete the day.

The ride today went very well. Afterwards not so much. First Necla choked on a piece of fruit. Fortunately John was quick with the old heimlick and everything was alright. Diane wasn’t so lucky. She was playing catch with a couple of the local boys after dinner and tripped over an iron fire pit and put a pretty good gash into her leg. She went into the local ER for stitches and hopefully she will be able to ride again in a couple of days.
