Day 2; Rockaway Beach to Rose Lodge; 64 miles
I entitled this day to be "Looking for a descent road surface" day. Beautiful ride but the roads were not really ideal, rough, lots of debris, no shoulder, traffic. Had a quick stop at the Tillamook Cheese factory eating Bit o' Honeys. Just as good a ice cream and easier on my belly. Made my way up and over hills, around bays, and finally into Pacific City. Met up with T and L at the Pelican Brewery for a yummy flatbread lunch. Too bad it was too early for a beer. After lunch ride was fabulous with a fast tailwind out of Pacific Beach on the 101. Soon went onto the old highway 101 that had very little traffic and still a tailwind and a nice 5 mile climb. Quickly I was down along the Salmon River and into the Salmon River RV park near Rose Lodge. Very nice evening and a few long term resident were wondering what we were doing. Most though my trip was a dumb idea, but no worries this trip is for me, not them.
