Don’t miss: Pacific Coast Bike Tour Day 12: Florence to Coos Bay 

After a tough and injury filled day of riding from Florence to Coos Bay, we decided it would be best to take a rest day in Coos Bay, Oregon.

Over the course of the last four days we have ridden a total of 198 miles from the North Coast to the South Coast of Oregon. It was about time I gave my knee a break and Will could use a day of rest for his newly stitched up arm.

Home Cooked Meals Rock!

Speaking of stitches, Will got to chatting with some of the nurses in the ER yesterday and one of them invited us over to her house for dinner. We’ll just call her Nurse Shawn for now.

Nurse Shawn picked us up around 5:30 and took us back to her house in Coos Bay. We enjoyed a delicious home cooked meal of pork ribs, green beans with bacon and garlic and twice baked potatoes.

After dinner Shawn took us on a ride along the coast to some of the popular viewpoints near Sunset Bay State Park. Here’s one last photo from the end of the night.

Tomorrow we plan on riding 58 miles to Humbug State Park in Curry, OR. Wish us luck!
