Made it to Waldport around 7:00. It's never been so nice to see Mike & Katie! Had my first flat as I was pulling into Newport. Had my second 2 miles outside of Waldport (had failed to check the tire for the source of the flat; a metal shaving). We are still anxiously awaiting Marilyn and Emily's arrival, hopefully tomorrow. After a good night's sleep I'm sure I'll share a few reflections on the experiences of the last 45 days. Right now I am just grateful for a safe arrival and a wam shower!
Miles: 74
Grand Total: 3,037
Congratulations Ray! What an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anita.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for Marilyn and Emily to arrive this evening. So many interesting things to see and do along the coast. This will be Marilyn's first experience seeing the ocean!
Sure am proud of you. It must be enormously satisfying to set such a large goal and accomplish it. A huge congratulation!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kevin. I had a blast... most of the time. Eating nonstop was one perk.
ReplyDeleteWOW Ray! What an amazing adventure. We at First Church of the Nazarene are proud of you. Can't wait to hear stories

ReplyDeleteWell done, thy good and faithful servant. It's been a wonderful trip, you finished the race, and were able to experience the beauty and fellowship of God that very few will be able to do.

I'm reminiscing on the 2-year anniversary of my bike trip to Oregon and looking forward to the next one. So thankful for the opportunities God gives us each day.
