Pacific Coast Ride - Day 5-7, South Bend & Long Beach

 From Montesano, Highway 107 heads SW to hit Highway 101.  After a few climbs which seemed like passes. Then 101 south and more long climbs to reach South Bend. The motel Seaquest in South Bend was lovely with everything a tired rider needed -- reclining chair, bathtub, small kitchenette, and comfortable bed. 

Then south again on Highway 101 and a long hill at 5 miles and then a roller coaster of hills one after the other all the way to Long Beach for a day of rest before going over the Columbia river at Astoria Bridge and into Oregon tomorrow.  

Total Miles: 177, Total Elevation Gain: 6,605 ft.

 The final day's ride was foggy and cold and stayed that way for most of the way.  Started on roller coaster hills for the first 16 mile...
