My son just began a cross country bicycle trip down the west coast from
Centralia, Washington to San Diego, California, then across the southern U.S. to
our home in Florida before the snow flies. He should be passing through Newport
in a couple of days from now.

We've had some really great weather in Newport this summer but there are some
clouds in the 5 day forecast. I hope he has a safe and happy ride. The bike
route along the coast on US101 is awesome scenery.

He spent last night in Astoria and was really looking forward to the ride down
the coast.

He's gonna get a little damp. It's cloudy and some showers. Not terrible but
not clear. Should still be great scenery.

He had a little rain night before last at Nahalem Bay State Park. He stayed
there yesterday and left this morning for Cape Lookout State Park by tonight and
shooting for Beverly Beach State Park tomorrow night. Even though he's been
riding a lot in Tacoma, the terrain is kicking his ass. Nice that Oregon State
Parks have hiker/biker camping spaces for $5 a night.

He just got to Newport. He keeps stopping to take pictures and look at the
scenery. Spending the night at South Beach State Park and aiming for Florence or
Dunes City tomorrow - depending on the views & hills to climb.
