Another 75 mile day but the weather has continued to be favorable. We started the ride with a few big, long climbs and then the ride leveled out until we arrived at the "7 Devils Rd" about 20 miles from Bandon. 7 Devils Rd is a series of 7 climbs over a distance of 5-6 miles. Having climbs at the end of the ride really beats you up. Thankfully tomorrow is a rest day in Bandon. We'll get to put our feet up and watch football (aka known as take a nap). Everyone is looking forward to being off the bike for a day.
Erica, a gal from the UK finally went to the hospital to get checked out. She's had a bad cough for the last 7 days. Michelle played PA and stayed with her during the visit. Turns out the doctor was moonlighting from Portland and more interestingly he grew up in Greenwich, Ct. So Erica got a Z pack and an inhaler and is thankful for a day off.
The other injury of the day came when JP took a fall. He doesn't know what happened but he wound up on the ground, his bike twisted up and blood / scrapes on his arms, legs and hands. Thankfully no broken bones.
So tomorrow we rest and 2 days later we cross over into California.
Three weeks to go!
Best to all,
M and Big
