Oregon Coast Remix - Part 5

The Pedalshift Project: Bicycle Travel Adventures

A short but challenging ride up and over the Seven Devils would be the last days of cycling for James and I on this adventure, but the remix theme gave us new things to try… a new brewery, time in a great town I usually skip, and one more new-to-us campground to rate!
