Oregon Bicycle Ride, 2008
Background
The Oregon Bicycle Ride returned this year to the Oregon Coast, the first time since 1997. Linda looked forward to visiting North Bend, where she lived when her sons were born. The route actually took us by her old house along the coast. We stayed two nights at Bandon, where we spend one night on the Oregon Bicycle Ride 1997. I looked forward to seeing the area again after 11 years of touring. As always, the tour was organized by Bicycle Rides Northwest, a company based in Bend, Oregon.
