45 miles today on the Oregon Coast

45 miles today at the coast. Nice weather. Played tourist and saw Youngs River Falls and Netal Point. More later (via cell)

Dave and I took advantage of a dry and warm late afternoon to get in a bike ride. I had mapped a 40 mile route prior to arriving at the coast and it looked like just the right distance for the time remaining in the day.

It was a very nice route. We traveled on good backroads with practically non existent traffic. Wind was light and the temperature was comfortable, just about a perfect day to ride.

There was one glitch, a mapped right turn near the end ended up being at a divided highway where no left was allowed. We could have ridden down the road a way and done a U turn but decided to just retrace our outbound route. It added a few miles to do so, but we were out for miles and it was a nice day.

Along our route we took the time to see Youngs River Falls, a surprisingly large falls. (sorry,no photos, didn't have my camera or cell phone along!) We also stopped at Netal Landing and read all the posted information on how the Lewis and Clark Expedition used the location.

It was a nice little ride.....with an 18.2 mph on bike average!
