From Seaside south, the road started as nice and flat but soon ended in three major climbs. First one over a mile at 5-6%, the next two over two miles each and with 6-7% grades!! The views were amazing.
The next day from Nehalem to Tillamook was a flat days ride with low clouds, fog, thunder, lighting, and one hour of deluge rain that soaked everything I was wearing. The rest of the ride was cold in wet clothes with beautiful views!
Total Miles = 257, Total Elevation Gain = 9,464 ft.
Arriving in Oregon
The Astoria bridge highrise at 170 ft rise, 0.8 mile & 6-7% grade.
Just before getting on the bridge where mighty Columbia opens to the Pacific.

Looking back at Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock.
I’m standing at the overview where I proposed to my wife Anne.
A day of low clouds, thunderstorms, and deluge rain.
And scenic beauty
