Woke up to pouring rain. We both lay in bed for about half an hour trying to decide whether to cycle in the rain again. Neither of us enjoy riding in the rain. At about 7:30 we decided to stay an extra day with Chris. Ralf is going to go into Town with Chris and I will update the blog.

Trevor is heading south, and was undecided about continuing on in the rain. He eventually left about 12:30 pm. The rain stopped at about 1:30 and the sun came out at 2:00 pm. We could have cycled today, but tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day.

The extra rest day gave us the opportunity to have a look at the route to Portland, we are making a detour. Portland is supposed to be one of the best cycling cities in the U.S. I want to go and investigate why.

I definitely need some new cycle shoes. My Keen cycling sandals are falling to bits. I had them sewn in Cuba and then last night Ralf put them on the base board heater to dry and almost melted the insoles!

We are hoping to meet up with Christine tomorrow. Christine and Margaret hosted us in Tempe, AZ and now Christine is one her own bike tour of the Pacific Coast.

We had another good evening with Chris, chatting.
