Day 2: Tillamook to Otter Rock, suggested mileage 61, actual mileage 84...5000ft climbing and yes my legs were feeling it. A late start had us missing the rain and a couple of scenic loops added on miles and centimeters to my quads. We encountered a 4 mile climb that brought us to cloud level and whales escorted us to our lodging at Otter Rock.
Day 3; mileage was less only 59 and climbing that was gradual and views that were stunning. We caught a tailwind that was successful in bringing up the avg speed and a little bit of breakfast in the paceline.
Again, the 'mammoths of the sea' were escorting us. Also took some well deserved stretches viewing the huge sanddunes below.
My stomach is still gurgling thinking about it,but we also enjoyed a buggy ride in the dunes.
Arrived in Florence 59miles later, Paolo special ordered off the menu and apparently pissed the cook off in the process...
Recap in Haiku:
Climbing legs turned on
Saw the Devil's punch bowl
Stuck on toilet bowl
