Finally, a day in the sun. Riding in a short-sleeved shirt, and enjoying a soft wind at my back. Indeed, a cyclist's joy.
Although there is an incredible amount of climbing to be had along the coast, it is so beautiful that one does not suffer greatly. The area is heavily wooded, and the shafts of light penetrating through the darkness of the forest is stunning. Of course the visible coastline (from the multiple view points along the highway) are equally as stunning. What a difference a bright sunny day has on one's psyche. The 48 miles to Tillamook were not easy, but they were enjoyable.
Tomorrow promises to be another good weather day ... and I think the winds, from the north, are expected to be stronger than today.
Makes me smile.
