Popular Post BuffJim Posted May 14, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted May 14, 2019 I pedaled 24 miles from Astoria Or to the Pacific Ocean and back. Day one of my coast to coast ride. Test ride to hook up the Bob and see how it worked. Stayed at the Lamplighter motel in Astoria. Yes- the one that serves fresh soup and fresh baked bread. It was tomato bisque that night. Who quits their job at the peak of a recession? Me, that’s who. Having the worlds worst boss makes the decision easier. 7 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted May 14, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2019 How long did it take you? Sounds hard! Coast to coast I mean, not the 48 miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hard, satisfying, fun, inspiring, scary and refreshing at various turns. PS the first day was 12 miles each way, 24 total. 10 years later, it’s an experience I’m very glad I did. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted May 14, 2019 Share #7 Posted May 14, 2019 Time flies when you are having fun. It doesn’t seem like ten years ago. I remember your trip report on the LF after you finished. That was on my bucket list but probably won’t happen, I can’t leave my wife alone and my health has been going to crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the reason I did it age 46. Chances are my lungs won’t be able to do it 10 years from now. I’ve got to figure out where my pics are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
