Counting Down

Next Sunday, Sept 25, I will attempt to cycle down the Oregon Coast on 101. The plan is to cover about 60 miles a day for 6 days. This should take me from Astoria to Brookings. Am hoping for fair weather. It will be interesting. Will attempt to blog my progress. 

I will not be alone. Connie will drive ahead each day and procure a room for the night. Her drive will be approximately one hour. It will take me from 4-6 hours to cover that distance on the bike.

Through scudding drifts the rainy Hyades2

Vexed the dim sea…
