After a great few days in Hood River it was time to keep moving west. The plan was to make a quick stop in Portland but that escalated quickly into a mandatory over night stop. Back on the road the following day I went south to ride Black Rock, OR. With a two fun laps under my belt I kept heading towards the coast, Pacific City.
Once I broke down camp in Pacific City it was tourist time. I had a full day of activities planned as I headed up the coast. First stop was the Tillamook Cheese factory for breakfast ice cream and coffee. From there it was a Goonies tour: Cannon Beach and Astoria. Campground for the night – Cape of Disappointment State Park.
Very happy to have visited the Oregon Coast for the first time. I was constantly passing bike-packers on the 101 and have already started toying with the idea of making the trip myself. But now, off to Seattle.
Rad trip BL, this is real living. Let me know when you go bike packing, I’d take a few days off to join you for a section.
Just an idea now, wouldn’t be til next summer for a proper touring trip.
