Started the day in Brownsville. The loft was great, town super cute but no breakfast anywhere. So I ran to the grocery and made us all eggs, biscuits and bacon! That fueled us for the ride which was just about 27 miles today. Lots more farmland, hazelnut trees and empty fields. We crossed a few nice rivers and some small creeks where I saw trout and some huge carp.
We rode into Corvallis along a paved bike parkway path and ended up in a very hip brewpub area along the river for lunch.
Our B&B is a few miles out but also very nice. The Hansen Country Inn...each bedroom has a sitting room and bathroom too...it feels like each one is an individual apartment.
After checking in we decided to drive to the coast, just under an hour's ride. The beach was cold and foggy but the sand was so silky soft!
We ate the best meal so far at Ocean Bleu in Newport . Mmmm....fresh halibut picatta with asparagus and spinach bacon risotto. Clam chowder you could eat with a fork and...well you get the idea. Tomorrow we ride to Salem which is 57miles...I've decided that if I get too hot or tired of pedalling I will go hang out with Lisa in our air conditioned sag suv!
