Today we biked 68 miles from Bandon to Brookings, Oregon, and tonight we are camping on the Chetco River at a very nice campground. Lots of hill climbing today and lots of going down the other side of the hills. I got a new personal best on my bicycle speed today. I got up to 46 mph going down the hill just past Gold Beach. My little bike computer keeps track of a bunch of information, and one of them is top speed. On the same hill a couple of years ago, I got up to 44 mph.

Today’s ride was right along the beach, so it was a gorgeous ride with sunshine the entire day and a tailwind to boot. Paul had two flats today, so he got into camp last.

Tomorrow we move into California and will be in that State for a little more than half our trip. The next three days should be really pretty, being in the redwoods.

I am the most tired today than I have been on any day so far. Not sure why, other than the hills. I blame everything now on old age. I have been sleeping really well the last couple of nights which solves a lot of the tired problems.
