Bike-a-thon

On the final leg of our first day biking in the Willamette Valley on a weekend tour organized by Bike Oregon. We biked 45.6 miles in temps in the mid-90-degrees. It was dry and hot but lots of fun. At the end of the journey, just before returning to Monmouth and the University grounds fellow bikers and we took pictures. We headed right to the swimming pool to cool off and stayed in until our body temperatures returned to normal. The next day we did 23 more miles.
Beautiful country and really nice people. This is a well-organized event that we went on last year and will do so every year until our legs, back, bodies give out.
