Crossed the state border this morning ( actually a 2 mile bridge across the Columbia River) had planned a hotel night but thought I,d save it for a rainy day (literally) . Am beginning to get into a rhythm I think, less concerned about where i'll be sleeping, weather etc; simple regime of eat, ride , sleep (that said camping in a state park tonight which I appear to be sharing with some permanent residents who live in a tent so hope they don't bring out the banjo and hunting knives any time soon). The Oregon coast is stunning,
amazing views of the pacific and super quaint weather boarded towns, weather a bit grey but only gets really cold at night. Oregonians genuinely friendly, stop for a coffee and you can pretty much guarantee a conversation in 5 mins, they are into bikes too. Met up with Canadians again today and discovered one of them is doing a tour fully laden on a fixie ( no gears, carrying about 30lb of gear, truly mad). Highlight of the day? Friendly locals , always wins hands down .
