Bicycle repairs and downtime

We have traveled from the coast to Williamette Vallley in Oregon, and now we are almost in Portland!
We’re excited about exploring Portland, as it has been voted the no.1 bicycle friendly city in the USA!!

The past week we’ve been repairing our bikes and enjoying the hospitality of friendly folks along the way via www.warmshowers.org

Call us crazy -maybe we are.
It has been foggy and rainy, but we’ve come across some beautiful vistas!

And we’ve met some lovely people who offered us a warm and dry place to shelter when the rain & cold get too much!
Thank you, Grandma Kate, Katie, and Dick & Kathy!
