day 7 - charleston

56 miles today. Almost to 500 this week. The stong head wind made for a long day and lots of breaks. Had a hard time staying awake on the bike. My legs just churn away as a natural motion only bothering my right knee and ankles. I broke my cleat so I can only half clip in. Hopefully one of the next towns will have a shop. Two girls from Santa Cruz followed me into camp today. They're riding out of Eugene and I think they're already sleeping. Maybe i'll ride with them for a bit in the morning.

Only one or two more days in Oregon--depending on if my joints hold up for 100+ tomorrow. I doubt it.
