Elma- Long Beach, WA
An 83.8 mile day but I did only 46
Cold still hanging on-bumped up to the 37 mile mark then slept in the van for 2 hours and then decided to do the rest. The start for the others was challenging-- at 40 degrees with cold damp heavy fog and long uphills. When I started at 11 the sun was out and we ended the day in bare legs. Finally made it to US 101- Pacific Coast Highway- yaaaahooo! Beautiful ride into Long Beach - on the ocean but it looked more cove , bay, slough like. Did not see the roaring Pacific until we reached our uber hip Adrift Hotel.
Delicious salmon, mashed potato and coleslaw dinner in the windy cold parking lot next to the ocean .
Had all of our regional warnings last night at map meeting...tsunamis(run away from the water) earth quakes and roque waves(good luck) and bears(only black bears, no brown , no problem.)So with all that in mind we forge on tomorrow.
