Pedalshift Tour Journals - Volume 11: Oregon Coast
Loop, Chapter 3
Port Orford, Oregon to the California Border... and back to
Portland
This trip was kind of like climbing a mountain... you get to
the goal, but then you have to turn around and go back. The
California border is within reach, but will this nutty
transit-aided return work?
This is the penultimate chapter of the Oregon Coast Loop...
I'll have another pod come out as a coda to the trip, talking about
my takeaways and more over Labor Day weekend. Then it's a best of
the week after!
New idea for future show... best bang for the buck foods
calorie-wise
Finally... a tailwind!
No sticky bun, but The Dandy Warhols 13 tails (AND I got
retweeted by them!)
Unloaded at camp
Winds shifted around so weirdly
Made it to the border and wanted to keep going, but... turned
it around
Frozen veggies keep your beers cold
Audible #1 called - went all the way to Honeyman from North
Bend
Shoulder size NoBo much, much worse
Audible #2 called - gave Airbnb to a fellow NoBo'er and bussed
up to Pac City
Another crying kid - what is it with this trip?
