Group ride to Corvallis

After a hearty breakfast at Black Bear Diner in Bend we parted with Stacy (Bolty) and Stacey. Richard was already on his a long way up to Alaska, and Dan (Irondad) hit the road again in the early morning hours. The remainder of the group: Kari (bluecat) and Ron, Brad (Troubadour) and Brandy (Troubaritz), Bob(skoot) and myself set course for a ride through the Willamette National Forest.

This group ride was a first for me, and I was a little worried but the pace was moderate, and Brad and Ron did a great job guiding and setting the pace, while Bob volunteered to protect our backs.

Bad Brad ;-)

Crocs united in Lebanon

We said our goodbyes to the Ninja-green crocs (Kari with Ron), and followed Brad and Brandy to Corvallis where we had a light late lunch. Far too soon it was time to also say goodbye to the blue and light pink crocs, and the pink and yellow crocs were riding into the sunset.

Newport Bridge

We set up camp in Lincoln City for the next two nights with the hope of catching up on much needed sleep and rest.
