Day #73-Nimrod to Eugene, OR 40 miles

Today’s ride has the same good weather but otherwise it had little in common with yesterday.  Riding on a busy highway with narrow or non-existent shoulders feels like work!  We saw lots of what looked like orchards but turned out to be groves of filbert trees.  We’re in the Willamette Valley now and there’s stuff growing everywhere!

What do we do when we don’t ride many miles and have the afternoon?  Ride 15-20 more miles to get to the Trader Joe’s in Eugene!

We’re at an RV park near the east end of the last map.  Finley may stay here an extra day, but we’re headed to Corvallis tomorrow.  233 miles left!

Take a few minutes and run in Hayward Field and Pre's Trail and pretend you're still fast!

You could see the demolition of Hayward Field!
