Cycle Oregon 2011

Cycle Oregon is a week-long bike ride of about 500 miles (800 kilometers). This year we were in the southwestern part of the state. The weather was fantastic and the route superb (with the exception of the stretches on highway 101).

Look like a very relaxed event, despite all the miles of riding. Love al the context in this 'report'. V
