Cycle Oregon: Day 1 to Heppner
Well I made it to Heppner; 70 miles down, 520 to go.
The ride was fantastic. Ideal weather, wide-open countryside, and wispy clouds set against a perfectly blue sky and empty roads. I rolled out of Umatilla and kept to myself for the first 20 miles or so. I just wanted to let the feeling of the pedals and the open vistas sink in. It’s been way too long since I’ve been on the open road and it felt great.
Here’s a few stories about the people I met on my way to Heppner.

The intersection at E. Burnside and 41st streets will soon be much safer for bicyclists and pedestrians. PDOT is installing a new, high-tech crossing signal that is slated for completion by the end of September.
Here’s more from an official PDOT statement:
“The signal eliminates a major barrier in one of only three continuous north-south bikeways on Portland’s eastside (the I-205 path and the Eastbank Esplanade and the Vancouver/Williams bikeway being the others) and one of the only bicycle-friendly crossings of the I-84 freeway.”
