the hospital to visit good friends Margi and Scott and their new
little one: Spencer Allan.
We got into oakridge about 11:30pm and immediately lit a campfire and
popped open beers - vacation had started! The next morning we got a
real treat when Ralph pulled out a little box of pastries from Petite
Provence for breakfast - yum!
Ralph, Thor and I headed out on a lovely, leisurely ride on Moon Point
- and then finished up the ride with a ~5 mile section on the Middle
Fork of the Willamette. I learned the importance of shock settings on
this ride! I was just feeling TERRIBLE on my bike - getting bounced
around, riding everything like it was my first time - ugh. It wasn't
until we got to the bottom of the downhill that I remembered Thor had
borrowed my bike and we'd forgotten to reset the shocks afterwards. I
couldn't believe what a difference it made!
We wrapped up the day with a brisk swim in the river, and then piled
in the truck to head over the top of FR 2134 to drop into the umpqua
river valley.
Hooray for vacation!!!
