Today the team left Bandon on their way to Gold Beach. It was our second day on the famous highway 101. We rode by many other touring cyclists, making us feel right at home. The coast was gorgeous and we indulged in an ocean view for most of the day. Front wheels were dipped, officially marking our trek from one coast to the other completed. Onwards to San Francisco, we will be close friends with 101 by the end of this trip.
A special thanks to Bethany Lutheran church for providing us with an amazing potluck dinner. Also, thanks to the Rosemary and Audrey for taking the time to tell us their stories! They both provided wonderful portraits, and we can't thank them enough for that.
And to all the other cyclists out there: enjoy, but stay safe!
Much love,
The Illini 4000
