Been Climbing for 3 miles straight from the exit of Cape Lookout SP....

The Oregon 3 Capes Coastal Route is on a totally different level of difficulty as is the rest of Oregon. 

Most of the grades are 8 - 10% with long pulls. 

Looks like I'm finally about to roll over the top after being in my lowest gear for 45 minutes with several stops to rest. 

Either I'm getting worse or the grades are getting steeper or both. 

Not a good day for me .... Just trying to get to Pacific City...

And the Pelican Pub & Brewery.
