Overnight in a typical motel with zero sound insulation. We had to share a bed, which is not a problem but we had trucks driving through our room all night 🥲

Breakfast in the local café then back to the museum which is the official start of the TransAmerica Trail

Let the adventure begin!
Really glad we didn’t have to cross this bridge 😅. Apparently it is quite new so should be strong enough, it just looks flimsy

A relatively easy start along the coast following the Oregon Coast Bike Route

Some long climbs, but great views along the way kept our minds occupied. We managed to get a Warm Showers place to stay with Brian and Maria Gryn. They gave us their monster camper trailer with all the amenities of an apartment 😊

Unfortunately they had to leave for work at 04:00 the following day so we weren’t able to get to know them better.
