A chewy Clif Bar day today with the temperatures hovering around 46 and a slight headwind As the day progressed they slowly worked there way down to a balmy 29. Luckily I had a extra pair of socks I could use as mitts to keep my hands warm and bearable.

What I like about touring.

It was a great day despite the temps and 201 was as I expected.Wide shoulders, sparse traffic and couteous log trucks. From 4 on I was pretty much by myself enjoying the panoramic vistas and fresh blacktop. Things you appreciate on a bike.
