Beach Bums

We spent this past weekend at the Oregon Coast - stayed in Newport. We brought our cyclocross bikes and went on a big adventure loop on Saturday. We rode through Waldport along the 101 down to Yachats and then made a left and rode along a winding country feeling road about 10 miles before making another left and beginning a brutal climb up and up and up into the trees. It lasted forever and we thought for sure we were lost. But eventually we popped out in a big logging area and then descended a lifetime back down to Waldport. It was a great loop with little to no car traffic once we got off 101. It's been awhile since I've ridden along the coast and I forgot that salty wet tangy taste you get if you ride with your mouth open and inhale. We stopped a lot along the way and took scenery pictures though it was too dark back along the climb to get much. Here are some of the best from that ride.
