ClatskanieJoanne and I are in a motel in Clatskanie. We will ride the Clatshanie - Cape Disappointment Perm tomorrow. The weather forecast is not great: "Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers. Highs around 60. Northwest wind 5 to 15 mph.". This will be the second year that we rode this route. Last year was a bit of a mess. First we missed a ferry and had to wait an hour for the next ferry, we had several flats on the tandem, and it was really hot. So hot that we had to rest in the shade along side of HWY 30. This year we are riding our singles. Joanne is on her Colnago SLX and I'm on my LeMond Victoire. These are not rain bikes, so we are hoping the chance of showers does not come to pass.
