Against wind, going uphill

Lunch stop
Lighthouse, a couple km’s off the main road
Taken from the lighthouse.
One of the many ocean views we saw from the road.
Very annoying sign, saw so many of them going uphill. Why are we being reminded how slow we are?
Finally made it to Port Renfrew, to end the day there.
Our own very private campsite.
Nobody was going bother us here
Supper that was made for us as we set up the tent.

Today we would move from cycling on trails to cycling on roads. This meant having less interaction with people. Road was busy with traffic and at times much narrower. Wind was blowing against us and it seemed like we were going uphill a lot more than down hill. This made for a much you ride.

Having priceless views of the ocean was a highlight. The evening drew nigh as we rolled into Port Renfrew, we were wasted, hungry and had no plans in place for night.

Everything seemed to be closed. Asked at a hikers cabin place if they had room, no luck. Had to keep going and finally saw a take out place open. Asked if she had any suggestions for us for night. After a few ideas she just said why don’t you sleep on my property. We were very grateful for that and she made us supper as we set up our tent. One never knows what will happen when the sun is setting and your very tired. We were so happy to be offered this place.
