Day 2 Astoria to Portland

Columbia river last night.

Thank you to Colette for being my ride along today. Engines were raving high, I had tech issues with my Garmin and increasing discomfort with my saddle so it was lovely to have her music to listen to and keep me focused on having a good time and relaxing into this rather long leg. Love you darlin!

Today we started out at 0700 with warmish and humid weather in the low 60’s and a forecast of possible rain. There was much discussion at breakfast about layers to put on. More was needed on the descents but it warmed up as we approached Portland.

Ok so funny signs I saw:- sorry no pix

#1 Camp Beaver

#2 Banana Hammock Juice Bar

#3 Casa Diablo Vegan Strip club (this was in Portland)

Elk! (not my picture)
No Elk- my picture

Today was a lot! So much emotion, panic, frustration, uncertainty, pride, focus, I was up, I was down. Like the rain and the temperature- I was all over the place.

Tomorrow- Hood River!
