Day 4
Miles = 89
Rockport, WA to Mazzama, WA
Worst day of bicycling we hope to ever have!
Imagine going 3 miles an hour on a bicycle. It’s about the same speed that most men and women “power walk”. Now imagine doing it for 44 miles. Now imagine doing it ALL uphill to reach a mountain pass at over 5,000 feet!!!
We started at 7am and got to the top at 7:30pm. Then we flew down the mountain at about 30 mph for about 20 miles until we reached the first town. We treated ourselves to a hotel bed for the night.

Wow! It sounds like quite the trip so far and it is only day four. Why am I not surprised that Laureen has had a few minor fender benders, ha, ha, ha. Just stay safe and enjoy the ride and I will treat you to granola french toast when you get home!

I just want to know if all the cozy spots were taken up on the side of the road??? I thought hotels weren’t a part of the deal until I came along?
I am so happy to hear that things are going well. I am missing you guys . . . I think this is about the longest we have gone without seeing each other in quite some time. I can’t wait to meet up with you and join you for a portion of the trip.
Stay well and know that I am thinking about you all the time. Love you!
