Subject: RE: 7.1.17 Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit! Didn't know you were Canadian! Happy Canada Day! We've been up to Vacouver, BC for it several times and their firework show rivals anything in the US.
3:15 (60-ish miles ) of happy riding through the Oregon countryside here. I got dropped by the "fast group" on the last surge and ended up following two guys in the same boat; turned out they weren't riding back to Eugene but to Springfield (our "sister city" just to the east ). We rode past the school where I did my student teaching, and I tried to take a connector path to the bike trail that connects the two cities--the area has changed so much I didn't recognize the connector when I was on it. Backtracked about a mile and finally found another cyclist to ask--I'd been going on the connector in the wrong direction.
Literally had not been back there in 25 years--amazing how a place changes! |
