QUICK RECAP: An awesome guy Bill met me at the start and rode the first 40mi with me, this was a huge boost in morale for me. I made a big gamble on a route change and it payed off saving me enough time to go past my original destination of Tillawook and instead make it an extra 30ish miles further south in Pacific City. 

Rode over this crazy bridge, then found a chipotle just CHILLING in the wild, SMASHED THAT, took a burrito to go, putting my total ride burrito count at 4, 5 if you include the PRE-GAME BOWL. I’m now slightly ahead of schedule. 

ROUTE::: I made a route change to take me over this crazy suspension bridge to save myself about 40 miles off the original route. Sam said this bridge was really dangerous and the route building doesn’t really want you to go over it, but I read some stuff online that it’s not that bad and so I gambled. The traffic was really light and the shoulder was plenty, and it was super fun. I don’t really have an issue with cars being close to me, it doesn’t really invoke any fear or anxiety so the bridge was just super dope. 

This allowed me to also find a Chipotle, which was an absolute come up. I connected to the 101 and then finally made it to the coast, this first part where I had to get to the coast was my biggest worry. I was so unfamiliar with the islands and the fairies and everything that was Washington. But now that I’m on the coast, it’s literally just keep the ocean on my right and I’m good to go.

FUELING::: just like yesterday, I only stopped once. I drink a gallon of Sprite and had a double wrapped burrito with chips. That chipotle stop was absolutely amazing because it also gave me a burrito to take back to the next hotel which I desperately needed. I also was able to keep my caloric deficit pretty low, finishing off probably around a 2000 cal deficit by the time I go to sleep. 1,111g of carbs kept the legs turning over nicely all the way to the end. 

MENTAL GAME: even though the content side of this is extremely difficult and mentally taxing, it keeps my mind busy and so I never feel bored all day. It honestly feels like I don’t have enough time in the day to do the content I want, which is crazy that on a 12 to 15 hour ride, I feel like I don’t have enough time. Creating the content while writing and posting in real time on Instagram keeps me focused on something other than my legs. So far the morale is pretty good, but having this guy Bill and his wife Ray meet me at the start was a huge boost. I started the day pretty slow and around an hour later than I wanted to, but Bill was there. I just started riding really good and we had a great conversation and he really set up my day for success.

ISSUES: so far there has been no issues which kind of gives me anxiety that I’m gonna have some catastrophic issue because everything seems to be going too well. I am falling behind a little bit on my sleep that but that’s to be expected obviously. My next big issue is going to be getting around the landslide on Highway one. I’ve scouted a 13 mile hike that goes around it, but I have no idea what that looks like or how accessible it is. So central coast day could end up really setting me back if I can’t cross.
