This past weekend we rolled down to Oakridge with our friends Abby, Rachel, Ira & Craige. Rachel and Abby are training for the Cream Puff 100 so we needed to get some long training rides in - even though the weather wasn't ideal the first day (read: rain). The joke of the weekend whenever someone complained about something was - "sounds like someone needs to work on their Cream Puff spirit!" Hmm...maybe this was only funny if you were there!
Anyhow - we rode Moon Point, Alpine, and then scooted over and did the Mckenzie River Trail out-and-back - it was a full weekend and lots of fun! Here are some pictures from our trip.

| We get to ride in such lush, beautiful woods! |

Nope, it's funny here (you did NOT have to be there!). "Cream Puff Spirit" is so cheesy, sounds like a kids camp or something, but in reality it's a really hard race!
ReplyDeleteLooks like beautiful country up there.
Erica - you HAVE to come to Oregon to ride with us someday. You would absolutely LOVE it - and we would have such a good time showing you around!
