Day 87 Recovering in Seaside

Zac was so exhausted when he finally arrived in Seaside after the hard ride of 100 plus miles and his body was complaining yesterday morn. After a sufficient breakfast, hydration and a good night's rest, he was having a struggle moving and thinking... A good massage, a gift from friends, helped with the lactic acid and Zac feeling much better. We have made arrangements to have his bike shipped today from a bike shop in Astoria that is experienced in doing so. It is not only the bike, the camping equipment, etc. We are heading back to Portland today to get a very early flight back to Charlotte tomorrow and gladly drive home. We have enjoyed the work being done on his Drop In Celebration on Augusta 4th and hope that Zac can reach his goal for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. Being at the Pacific was an emotional event for Zac after his journey..... not to mention his Mom who has gained more than a few pounds during the worry of the ride..... The cycling angels have taken care of Zac. Now the Jenny Craig angels have to now watch over his mom!
