Day 17 – Brookings, OR. 50 km
Another short day of riding. However, not a particularly easy one. There are six long, winding climbs and descents between Gold Beach and Brookings. And for half the way we had a stiff headwind. At least it wasn’t raining. We stayed in a motel again – this could be habit forming. Took the opportunity to do laundry. Apart from the constant wind, this is an appealing area of the Oregon coast, although there’s precious little of interest in the towns.
I spent too much time this afternoon watching US election coverage on TV. It’s all fascinating stuff. Especially the continued level of support for Donald, the narcissistic buffoon. This just wouldn’t happen in Canada, or in other mature democracies, although Italy’s Berlusconi comes to mind as a comparable.
