After a good night's rest and lovely breakfast at the C'est la Vie Inn, we spent much of the morning getting organized to ride out. Today's jaunt was getting out of Eugene and through farmland for most of the ride. Near the end it got prettier but also hillier. This week's ride is following Oregon's Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway.
After 32 miles pedalling in the heat with no lunch other than Gatorade and powerbars we were a bit of a cranky bunch. Nothing a shower, a big Mexican food meal and nap couldn't fix.
We are staying in Brownsville in a place called The Historic CJ Howe building. Downstairs is a yarn store(closed unfortunately ) and we are upstairs in what they call the loft. It is the entire upstairs and has at least 5 beds. Town is vintage cute and only about 3 blocks total.
Panoramic pic is the common area of the loft with Kim, Lisa and Barry.
A pretty old (1887)bridge over the McKenzie river.
