Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway ride

Last Friday (I know I’m late on this one) I was lucky enough to join in on a ride that gave a sneak peak at Oregon’s first State Scenic Bikeway.  Cycle Oregon is spearheading the effort that will designate an independent bike route from Portland to Eugene.

Jonathan Nicholas was the emcee and led the charge throughout the day.  He wrote about it much better than I ever could.  So go read his column from yesterday’s Oregonian in case you missed it.
