June 18 Monday, Astoria to St. Helens

| View from the back of the pack |
Day started of wet, wet streets, wet rain everything wet, BUT, we had a tail wind. 68 mi with atailwind helps a LOT. Flat tire at mi 15 doesn't help so much. Changed the tube and support van was there with a pump by the time I needed it.Lot's of greenery and by the afternoon the sun was out and it was very pretty. finished near the back of the pack in good shape. No sore knees or other issues. This is a long ride good to pace yourself.
Must feel great to be on the road. First flat is out of the way. Remember to stretch your quads and IT Band, it will help keep your knees healthy! Enjoy the ride!

Time was mediocre, but, the tire inspection was GREAT. found and removed the glass that caused the flat.
