Thursday 23 July

Today's ride is from Coos Bay to Cape Blanco State Park. About 4 miles into the ride today there was a street called

Seven Devils Rd. It is named that not because it is flat. There are 7 hills on the road, two have grades in the 10+ range. At the top of the first hill someone had painted Devel 1 on the street. I was working real hard so I did not stop and take a picture. The second hill was steeper than the first, I walked the last 100 yards so I took a picture.



then at next. This hill was not as steep as the first two. 


Then up the next hill and they painted devel #3 again, next hill #4, then #5 then two #6's then devel #7 was painted halfway up the hill, so... go figure out the person that painted the markings.  At the top of the hills was timber country



The ride down the otherside of the 7 Devils was fun.


The road worked its way back to the coast. This is the lighthouse in Bandon


along the way, lots of cranberry bogs

Then some pictures from Cape Blanco

Moby Dick swimming way offshore
