Whitney leaves-time for me to get up-7:10-out at 7:40-Jean pokes head out-says good bye-they were going to bkft at Grumpy’s. 2m-jacket comes off–then bk on when rain comes-going to be that kind of day again. Need the bathroom-forced to stop at Smoke House-go in & see donuts. Turns out that they sell Tillamook smoked jerky which is made next door-no tobacco products. Later go by Tillamook Cheese Factory. Rd along coast & climbed mt to Cape Lookout–fantastic views. Then the rain started as we continued to climb-going down-no bike lane. Going down-very scary-raining harder-trying to break to 35mph-can’t see-cars behind me can’t get by. Stopped for chips & Moo Moo Milk-biked 8 last m-cold & wet-still had more climbs. So glad to get to Anchorage Motel ($60) at 1:30. Get to use motel dryer for wet clothes. Mexican food for dinner–see Jean & Lynn ride by–5:30. Left at 9:30 because of rain-took longer route even though sign said rd was out–not much stops Jean-but Lynn had a flat tire which slowed them down a little. Went back to Mex Rest w/trio. Then Armand & I walked 1/2 m to store for ch mk & ch cookies. Tomorrow we will be in NEWPORT for our CROSS COUNTRY REUNION hosted by Georgia. Suppose to rain.
