Sad News - Day 17

Today we rode 45 miles to Coos Bay where we got a motel. The day was again foggy and our route was  described as the most curvy and scenic of the Oregon coast. It would have been nice to have been a clear day but was an enjoyable ride anyway. We stopped in Reedsport for a couple of hours so Ed could participate in a work related webinar. Had a couple major hills to climb. On one of the hills we leap-frogged with a young man hitch hiking to Coos Bay where his wife was in labor with a new baby.

 We received sad news that our very good friend from Fort Collins, John Greenlaw, had a stroke.  Spent much of the day on the bike praying for him and his family.

  1. Hey he is stable but still in critical condition. Its an MCA stroke which is a main artery in his brain. Pray for the swelling to subside and not get worse. Hope your ride finds you both well
