Day 4 - Still married

55miles (88kms), 4 hours 33 mins, all day head wind and 2000 feet of climbing. And I'm still in the good books?
Today was a non stuff around day. After a Starbucks coffee hit we attacked. The section of the coast that we rode today was difficult and dangerous. The road was narrow and winding with little or no shoulder. The reward was the most breathtaking scenery on the Oregon coast. When we got to the really tricky stuff we found that the roads were pretty quiet. So we took no breaks. Every time we started to fade we would shove a wholemeal tortilla in our gobs and keep riding. The result was a safe and exhilarating ride. 14 degrees and nearly rain free. We both had a wonderful ride. Just before our planned camp we stopped to buy groceries. When we came out of the store it was raining steadily. We abandoned the camp idea and found a hotel in Florence. We found a great little restaurant and had a lovely meal. We are both feeling great and having a ball.
