My wonderful aunt recently purchased a house in downtown Yachats. She bestowed it Sweet Haven. She decorated it in greens and purples with mermaids all around. She was kind enough to let my mother and I stay there for a summer vacation. I took the opportunity to ride around. I haven’t been feeling very well, and biking has been tough. I gave it all I had the first day. But the beauty at every turn inspired me. I only wanted to ride more. The next day I went all out and it felt fantastic. Riding from Yachats to Newport was the best day of riding I’ve had all year. I had to cut the third day short for time, so I left wanting more. It’s on my list of priorities to get back there. Soon.
