Hoka Hey Day 8

500 miles of slow twisties to start the day. Chased the sunset from I-5 to Coos Bay. It won.

I heard today that there have been 3 crashes so far, not including 2 or 3 deer strikes. All 3 were single-bike wrecks. The first was the same guy that hit a deer the first day. He's fine. The second was a retired Navy Master Chief Petty Officer I met last year at a rally. He's in hospital, but stable and doing fine. The third guy hit some gravel and went over the side of the cliff (no guardrail). He's dead.

I'm tired. Should hit the third and final checkpoint tomorrow in Boise. Have lots of miles to get there though.Read more
