Another cold morning and it stayed that way for the whole ride. I wondered what was on the sandwich board sign up ahead.

Uh-oh. I decided to at least ride the 3.7 miles before turning around.

When I got to Manning, the barricade had been moved slightly. I could see hikers and a cyclist up ahead. Ok, time to see if I can get through. I talked to a couple of cyclists riding toward me, they said the work crew at the other end had waved them through. Cool!

Only a short stretch of non-tree-lined trail.

Near Buxton, a 700-foot-long curving trestle, 80 feet high.



Back in town and headed to the AirBnB to my vehicle, I spotted a new business and stopped for an iced mocha. Great end to a very good ride.

Miles = 28. Next stop: Lacey WA
