The Rogue

Yesterday was Tillamook to Newport, about 70 miles (80 for the day when all was said and done).  We rode through some of Oregon’s beautiful forestry and then along the coast through Lincoln City and Depoe Bay.
Jas is still outpacing me, but the good news is that my knee isn’t paricularly sore anymore.  Now it just hurts as much as everything else in my legs.
Our goal was to make it to Newport in time for the 6pm tour of the Rogue Brewery.  We arrived in time, but about a month ago they stopped doing the 6pm tour without updating their website.  We were bummed, but they gave us a quick private tour after we ate.  The menu was exactly the same at the brewery as it was at the pulic house in Astoria, so it was a bit redundant, but a fun place to visit nonetheless.
After the brewery, we headed south 2 miles to South Beach State Park.  Signs on the road said “campground full”, but we decided to check it out anyways.  It turns out that they put the sign up when there are still a few sites left.  And, they usually have hiker/biker sites available (and they’re only $4 per person!), so we were hooked up and camped with a handful of other touring cyclists for the night.
Next stop, somewhere after Reedsport.
