Rider notes: Fog to Thunderstorms to Rain via rollers - that is Yaquina Lighthouse Century. The starting point is at the Yaquina Head, which is on the north end of Newport, OR. When we started, it was foggy. Later on we got into some thunderstorms, and some down pour. Towards the end, it got cold - I think most of the day was about or below 55 degrees. Sun came up in the evening as I was driving out of Newport.
There were plenty of rollers along the way.
The aid stations arranged by the Yaquina Wheels Bicycle Club are excellent, with coffee served at every station.
The size of the ride is small - they were probably about 100-150 riders.
