Solo morning ride from (Premier RV) in Lincoln City to Newport, OR. Traffic was light southbound in AM but heavy on way north. Bike lane was mostly nice and wide but there was lots of garbage on it and it had not been swept in a very long time. I may have damaged a side wall on my new rear tire!
2 miles north of Newport I came upon a line of cars at a full stop for nearly 2 miles into the city limits. I cruised by at 18 mph on the shoulder and found a bad accident to be the cause. I turned around at that point because they weren't going to let me go around it. That was at 20 miles so I got a nice 40 mile ride.
The weather was sunny and cool on the way down but some clouds rolled in on the return trip and I was battling a head wind on the way back.
I discovered a nice alternate route off 101 on the way back. I got off at Devil's Punch Bowl and rode the old hwy north to the top of Fowl Weather Bluff where I had to get back onto the highway.
