Long Haul on the New Bike

Mr. Man announced that he wanted to ride the Springwater Corridor to its end in Boring, OR, about 15 miles east.

So we planned our outing for yesterday and I mapped out our "bus escape routes" in case we got too pooped to ride all the way home.

We got to mile marker 18.2 before he decided to turn around.


We saw hawks, donkeys, horses and rabbits.

All told, Mr. Man rode 22 miles. On the last stop before hopping the bus back to town, we rested for a snack.

Mr. Man was hot and grumpy near the end, but it was a lovely ride overall.

Mr. Man Finally Has a New Bike!

"Look!" he says. "6 gears and 2 hand brakes!"

Which, of course had to be followed by gelato on this hot, hot day!
