Today I rode back through the Coastal Range Mountains. There was a long gradual climb of 2 to 3 percent for about.34 miles. Very nice! There are lots of bike lanes in Portland and it seems very bike friendly. I will find out more tomorrow.
For all intents and purposes my trip is done. I’ve made it from coast to coast and seen lots of beautiful places and met many interesting people! It’s truely been the trip of a lifetime for me. I want to thank all of you who have posted encouraging comments and everyone else who has followed along with me at home. It has been helpful for me knowing that I’m not alone on this journey.
I will continue to post details and picture for the next couple of days until I get back home which should be Friday.
Since Eric and I meeting you in South Dakota twice in 1 day I’ve been watching your progress in awe. Seeing the photos of you in the Pacific were very inspiring. Congratulations!
Karsten – It was really fun to see your pictures and read your daily blogs. Thanks for doing this. Looking forward to seeing you back in Greensboro in a few days! Jim
Hey Karsten
I have a great friend that lives in Salem. If you need anything you could give her a call. You can call me at work my ext is 5124 and I could give you her number. I have really enjoyed seeing your pictures and reading your posts!! You are awesome!! Talk to you when you get back. Don’t forget to contact us. Thanks, Lisa H
Scott,
You knew Tour de Gaps would be a temptation for me! That is my favorite ride. My bike is not supposed to be back until early next week though. Too bad.
