Day 148 - 28th October, Neskowin - Lincoln City - Beverly Beach State Park, 35.52 miles

Ráno je riadna zima a strašná rosa, kým vylezieme zo stanu (hlavne John vždy spí min. do 9tej), spravíme raňajky, vysušíme strany a všetko pobalíme je zase obed. Škoda inak krásneho dňa. Prechádzame starou 101tkou, kľukatiacou sa cez celkom pekný les, vychutnávame si absenciu áut a nádherný, dlhý zjazd, takmer karpatský štýl. V Lincoln City stretávame švajčiarov, ale nechávame ich ujsť bo narážame na “Cold Stone Creamery“, čo znamená, že si vyberiete určitý zmrzlinový mix, ktorý vám pripravia na hlboko podchladenej kamennej doske, takže sa neroztopí a vyzerá to “cool“. John hľadá nejakých ľudí z “Warm Shovers“  (cyklistická obdoba Couch surfing), ale nikto tu nie je voľný takže ideme do najbližšieho State Parku. Cesta kopíruje pobrežie, opäť sa ukazujú útesy a obrovitánske kamene trčiace z oceánu. Navečer nás cykloznačenie odkláňa na vedľajšiu cestu (Pacifická cyklocesta je v Oregone vyznačená perfektne), takže bicyklujeme po úzkej ceste, kľukatiacej sa po hrane vysokánskych útesov, žiadna premávka a fantastické výhľady na oceán a pobrežie. Slnko po našej pravici pomaly zapadlo do oceánu, všetko bolo červené a oranžové, vychutnávali sme si asi jeden z najkrajších západov slnka tu na pobreží. Už potme prichádzame do Beverly Beach State Park. Na hiker/biker mieste stretávame jednu cyklistku, ktorá prišla z Los Angeles, odborníčka na zdravú stravu, trénerka behu na miestnej univerzite a neviem čo iné ešte. Bola extrémne komunikatívna, ku slovu sme sa veľmi nedostali :-).

Today we woke up very late again (well, John usually sleeps till 9 am) and everything was wet from a dew. But the sky was clear, it seems to be a nice sunny day. Till we dried out tents and finish the breakfast/lunch, it was nearly noon. So in the "morning" we biked on the old hwy 101. It was amazing, no traffic and it goes through old national forest, with long downhill on the end. It goes back to the new 101 hwy in Lincoln City. Here we met again with guys (boy and girl  :-)) from Switzerland. It was unbelievable how much luggage they have. Our bikes seemed to be empty to compare with them. Panniers, trolley fully loaded and each of them had huge backpack. But they were still faster then we, mainly because we found Cold Stone Creamery and did some grocery. John was looking for some Warmshowers hosts but nobody was able to host us. So we continued to Beverly Beach State Park. In the evening the bike path left hwy 101 and followed one of the side roads which led on the edge of gorgeous cliff, very soon the ocean was deeply beneath us, huge waves were been breaking on tall, sharp rocks our disappeared in the one of many caves. Altogether with beautiful sunset it was very nice evening ride. To the Beverly Beach State Park we arrived in the dark. On the hiker/biker site was only one biker, her name was Mona and she came from Los Angeles. We started to talk, but very soon it was only Mona who was talking, we didn't get a lot chance to say pretty much anything  :-)
