After visiting the Smith Rocks State park in Terrebonne Monday morning we left town at about 11am.  Late even for us! We rode along the buttes on a flat road all day.  It was a very pleasant day riding. We stayed the night in Prineville at a cheap Econoline hotel and had dinner at theContinue reading “Terrebonne to Mitchell May 31”

Let’s get 50 miles in today. We’ve been slacking off. Ok she said. We made it to Terribonne OR without any break. We were ready to rest and eat and then go to Smith Rock State park. Have a look around and continue on another 20 miles. While we’re sitting at the restaurant Deb strikesContinue reading “Best day ever or Sisters to Terrebonne”

deb one week on our journey thoughts so far every bone in my body aches. and my hip hurts from swinging my leg over the rear of my bike when I get on it. I have to swing really high to get over the panniers. I think i will have to start getting on fromContinue reading ”  Coburg to Nimrod OR”

Mike     We thought we were going to be immediately  heading into the hills for a tough day of climbing, our goal to try to get to McKenzie Bridge. Proceeded to go the wrong way from the hotel parking lot and rode two mile into the hill to a dead end:(  The scenery was awsomeContinue reading “Not what we thought”

We have been riding on flat road most of the day between the coastal range and the Cascade Range of mountains. Had a good time in Corvallis last night. Found the Sky High Brewery and went up to the roof top. Really cool and it comes with cervesas too! Todays ride was a very niceContinue reading “The Valley in Between”

Deb It is slow going in the mornings for us, we usually ride in silence for an hour or so until our muscles warm up. Both of us are very sore but it’s a pretty good feeling. This morning was especially hard because we knew it would be uphill all morning, the road was curvyContinue reading “Grand Ronde to Corvallis Or”

Mike The lure of the coast is hard to get away from. So much to see. We rode around a large estuary with lots of water fowl to look at. So interesting to see what is uncovered when the tide goes out. Rode into Neskowin looking for a cup of coffee and a snack. FoundContinue reading “Beautiful and creepy”

Deb Still figuring out Word Press for blogs so bear with us.  We stayed in a very remote little coastal village last night called Netarts. We headed out for dinner to the only place in town,  a small local packed bar.   We found a seat at the bar and I asked if they hadContinue reading “Netarts to Pacific City May 19”

Deb  All I can say is wow. Oregon has some mighty hills. Whew.  We woke this morning well rested, all gung ho, ready to go and my tire was flat. I am so thankful Mike is an even tempered patient man. He flipped my bike over and fixed the thing. It has proven to beContinue reading “Manzanita to Netarts”

Deb After a rough first day weather wise we both slept good last night and got an early start. We made it to Cannon Beach where we had a cup of coffee and I conveniently had a flat tire. After getting that taken care of we headed into the mountains and came across some spectacularContinue reading “Seaside to Manzanita”
