Somehow messed up my back brake last night, thought I knew how to fix it but since they're disc brakes I decided not to risk damaging them even more. Which meant that it was a 20 mile journey to Newport on one brake. Which was OK, the sun was shining and there was some nice scenery so was happy taking my time. Stopped into the shop to be told that they have a room upstairs for touring cyclists to hang out which was really cool, TV, video games, books and a computer. So spent a few hours there in the end. Got to the campsite for the night and was greeted by a host for the hiker biker area who was a legend, gave me an Oregon state bike map and gave me some route advice for the rest of the trip. Also warned me about a huge storm on the way and advised that I get as far south add possible as soon as I can. It was the first time that I was the only cyclist in a state park but it didn't matter as it was the best one I've been to yet. Beautiful scenery and a room to chill out in where I charged all my electronics and took advantage of the free tea and coffee.
