Lovely. Low clouds and drizzle, a whopping 59F (15 C) outside great us in the morning. The ‘high’ for the day was 61F in Tillamook. Not the best riding weather. Maybe that’s why we got a late start this morning, continuing down U.S. 101. RV’s (towing cars) are evil ;-). Too many on the road, too much traffic.
A short distance day (150 miles) but we still managed to be tired at the end of it. The combination of high traffic volume and gloomy weather with sometimes wet roads takes just as much effort riding as cruising all day for hundreds of miles on straight dry road.
Todays route.
