Some photos from our latest bike ride...the annual Reach the Beach. We rode 80 miles from Newberg to Pacific City on the Oregon coast through rolling hills and lush wine country. I was a bit apprehensive since it was the longest I've ever been on a bike but it was great! Weather was perfect, it wasn't TOO hilly, and there was lots of food....a fantastic way to spend David's birthday.
Suzy and Art agreed to drive our car to the coast for us and apparently serve as our pit crew as seen here where Art is installing a bike rack:
Me at one of the (many) rest stops for food, drinks, and maintenance: We couldn't go for more than 10-15 miles without someone offering us peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, power bars, gatorade, or cookies. I liked this. :)
James, one of the roving mechanics, helping David with his flat tire:
Here, we're about 10 miles away. You can see Haystack Rock in the background:
In Pacific City nearing the Finish Line, David looking happy :)
At the Finish Line reunited with Art and Suzy:
We stayed for a couple nights at a condo in Neskowin. Interestingly, it turned out to be owned by Sharon Kitzhaber, the First Lady of Oregon. I guess she rents it out when she's not staying there. It was decorated in an Art Deco Old Florida theme. Lots of flamingos! Plus there was a View Master with lots of reels, including pics from the Pendleton Round Up from the 1950s!!

I absolutely love the shot of Wendi and Dad on the couch - very poetic...it looks like they are from the fifties. - Andrew
