Day 11- North Bend, OR., 98km.

Day 11 - Satellite Map Route

Another great day of riding with the wind at their backs over rolling hills and flat terrain that made it seem like they were floating along the road.  The traffic is getting heavier, especially with the long weekend starting, but the good bike lanes keep them safe. For much of today there was a huge continuous sand dune between them and the ocean.  In places it was as much at 100ft high and 2-3 miles wide (ie 3-5km).  The dune is part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.  Pretty impressive scenery.  On their ride today they went through Florence where they stopped for breakfast, Gardiner for a photo op, on to Reedsport for lunch and stopped in North Bend for supper and the night.
