Miles: 26
Weather: Still Raining.
Route: From Nehalem Bay State Park to Tillamook, CA
First of all, let me just say riding through rain and wind is a horrible feeling to endure. Mike and I woke up relatively dry although Liz and Jeff can't say the same, but I'll leave it to them to talk about that.
The ride today was pretty short, though relatively flat. All the time, it still blew since we were all really beat by the time we got to Tillamook. The combination of rain-soaked clothes, lack of sleep, and other factors really got to us.
Tillamook Cheese Factory was pretty cool though. There's few things better than getting to taste a bunch of fine cheeses and having some of the most deliciously sweet and creamy ice cream after a few hours of hard riding. One of them is a warm and more importantly, dry, motel room after being damp for a day and a half. And then, I hopped into a hot sauna that totally relaxes each and every muscle. That's just heavenly.
And that is where I'll end this post: reading a book (Shadow of the Hegemon - Orson Scott Card), in a hotel lobby, after having some great dinner of chicken, salad and wine.
It's been a pretty good day.

Perhaps this will be a consolation to the wind and rain you rode through as well: they're starting a fan club!
