Gold Beach - Brookings
31 miles (we are getting lazy)
10.1 mph average speed
30.8 mph max speed
3 hours and 4 minutes in the saddle
The plan was to cross into California today, but we are finding it hard to leave the beautiful Oregon coast. The coastal fog was as thick as pea soup today and it was freezing cold, it just didn't make for enjoyable cycling and since we are no longer in a hurry we decided to take it easy for the second day running.
After 30 miles of cycling we stopped at picturesque Harris Beach for lunch. We had fabulous views of sea stacks shrouded in the mist from our picnic table and spent a long time just sitting around doing nothing, that's a novelty. After a while we got chatting to an elderly couple that seemed to have been travelling the world for the last 12 years. They had lived in Spain and Greece for several years and were now touring the US in their RV. By the time we had finished talking to them it was late so we decided to stay in Brookings.
