Eugene has to be one of the bike-friendliest communities that I have visited. Many, many bike lanes (roads are almost glass-smooth!!), and there is a wonderful bike/pedestrian path that runs along the Willamette River.
On Saturday I rode in from Corvallis (46 miles) and ended the ride on the river path ... probably eight to ten miles worth ... very nice (low stress) way to finish up a ride. Have spent the last day and a half with good friend Nancy O'Brien relaxing and enjoying the usual Eugene delights. As an aside, we went to a movie yesterday ... The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (thank you Nancy for correct name of movie) ... very, very good movie. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys movies that do not cater to 18 year-old boys.
Today and tomorrow do not look to be at all enjoyable ... heavy rains and cold (low 30s at night). I will be meeting up with Frank and Roger this evening at McKenzie USFS campground. Tomorrow includes riding up and over McKenzie Pass ... snow???
Sure could use some (but not all) of the Tucson heat.
Hey Randy~ The movie title is The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel(it was abbreviated at the theater.) Thanks again for making the trek to Eugene albeit rainy for your departure and Cascade route. Take care my friend.
