We woke up to calm and sunny conditions. Pete had promised a break that morning but couldn't wait and said he'd meet me at Starbucks for breakfast (slave driver). 99 miles and 9hours later we arrived in Port Orford.

I only find a little rest going up hills. A recumbent bike doesn't do to well on these.
