Zac is enjoying the city of Portland for the past two days.. He has been staying at the hostel which apparently is very well run and very well located. He will be forced to enjoy the city for one more day in waiting for me to fly in. It was difficult to get room reservations in Portland due to several festivals going on, the major of which, was the beer festival.Sunday morning, Zac will leave Portland and bike the final 90 miles to Seaside, OR. The plan is dip his wheels in the Pacific Sunday night if the winds are not terrific. I am planning on following him, meeting him for lunch and then continue on and wait for him at the water's edge... It is so very amazing that it is coming to an end. There is a bike shop in Astoria, OR that is used to shipping bicycles home to any point in the world and they will be packing up Zac's wheels.
It is very late and we have been working on a mailing for the ZAC ATTACK to return back to Aiken. The following is the insert from the mailing we have done:
