Two nights ago, I stayed with two wonderful warm showers hosts in Corvallis, Mary Ellen and Dennis. They told me about a back route to the coast, and where I could avoid the crazy traffic of highway 20, and also ride the Yaquina Bay Rd, which had to be some of the most beautiful riding I've ever done in Oregon.
Corvallis is a little gem, that i really had no idea existed. A cute town, with the Willamette gushing through, it seem like it would be a lovely place to raise a family, or spend some nurturing quiet time during for college.
I've got a lot of thoughts in my head at the moment, I've had a lot of good conversations. mostly about community building and how enriching it is, and how in dire need we are of it. Currently, it's 8:14, and I know I must get on the road to avoid the bulk of the 101 traffic. sometimes bike touring is hard this way, always pushing. Since I have a hard set date in LA, I'm contemplating taking it a bit more easy, and taking a train to make up the difference. I just want to write more. Somehow, I'm not finding the time.
I will find the time.
