Finally riding bikes in Eugene

The weather finally cleared up yesterday. It was sunny and in the high 60's, possibly even 70. We found a bike path that ran along the Willamette river on both sides. There were also bike/pedestrian only bridges, so we could cross back and forth easily. We got a total of 13 miles in, then headed back to the moho for lunch. We spent the afternoon cleaning, doing laundry, and taking Snuggles on a couple of walks + a bike ride. She was very happy to finally get out too. Dinner was a few frozen raviolis so we didn't get too full because we always make a big bowl of popcorn on Monday nights while we watch The Apprentice. Speaking of The Apprentice, can anyone believe the team that Lee put together??? Roxanne who doesn't speak up to save her life? Peppy who was gone the 2nd week? And of course, his buddy, Lenny, who uses his lack of knowledge of English as an excuse when his team lost a task to write a jingle?

Today was another sunny day and our last full day in Eugene. So we hit another bike path. It took a bit of searching after the path ended, but we found it. The best thing was, right about the place where we were going to turn around, there was a CHOCOLATE SHOP!!!!
I was a happy camper. What a brilliant idea to put a chocolate shop along a bike path. We stopped for a bite and a quick rest before heading back. Rich's allergies were bothering him.

Tomorrow we head out to McMinnville, Oregon, about 27 miles SE of Portland. It's only a 95 mile drive, so we can take our time packing up. We're going to do some packing tonight, especially getting the bikes inside the Suzuki since the forecast is for rain tomorrow.
