(Port Orford to Brookings, OR)



View Larger Map

Highlights: began riding with Andre from Quebec, lots of rain with 15 to 25 mph headwinds, gale advisory, over 5,000 feet of climbing, rear brakes stopped working, reached the 10,000th mile of my around-the-USA ride

Journal: [to come]


View from Battle Rock Park at departure (Port Orford)


Humbug Mountain (Humbug Mountain State Park)


Rugged ocean view (north of Ophir)


My reaction at reaching 10,000 miles (next to Cedar Bend Golf Course)


Rogue River view (Gold Beach)


More rugged coastline (near Pistol River)


Bridge to nowhere (Samuel Boardman State Park)
