Last weekend, I did a little "test run" of the tour I plan to do this summer, which is ride down the Pacific Coast to at least SF. I figured I'd better try it out for at least a night before the real thing to see if (1) I could do it, and (2) I'd enjoy it. I decided to ride from Manzanita, OR to Cape Lookout State Park to camp for the night. Before I left, I was really nervous with all the "what ifs" floating through my head.

As soon as I got on my bike, I felt great. I had a great time riding, stopping to take pictures, eating a yummy lunch, and I loved camping. Being alone was fine, and I'm ready to hit the road later this month!
