Made it to Portland!

60 mile ride today from Salem to Portland. Andrew broke a spoke this morning but all was good since we were still near a bike shop in town. A good mix of highway and farm roads got us to Amanda's house. Andrew hulahoops in her backyard to celebrate. Very happy to be here.

Much needed coffee break

Andrew pulls into a drive through java hut to get his afternoon legs. Definitely going to find a hot tub tonight.

80 miles to Salem today!

Longest day of the trip and also the flattest. Great lunch break in Corvallis...home of the beavers.

Eugene...go Ducks!

Andrew broke a spoke this morning out of Florence and hitch hiked to Eugene. I met him there 50 miles later and his bike is as good as new. Going to enjoy the night in Eugene before heading up the Willamette Valley tomorrow. Yes, the woman who took the pic had us hold her dogs.

We made it to Denmark,

Oregon! Nothing there but a closed Espresso shop so we trucked it to Bandon to eat some Dungeness crab.

Past Gold Beach onto Port Orford

We finally caught that Oregon headwind today...tough climbing but the dunes are a nice respite.
