Viva La Vagabond: Spoiler Alert!

We are officially spoiled. On this big adventure we are expected to be roughing it. Biking through treacherous terrain with inclement weather and no place to stay at night. Well the state of Oregon is spoiling us as you guys can see. We had finally a day of good weather for biking, although we still have not gone a day without rain. After waking up Wednesday morning, we had to give our bikes some lovin', so we took them to Biketopia in Crovallis. They took excellent care of us and our bikes and had us on our way for our 50 mile ride to Eugene. The super flat ride gave us plenty of time to make it before dark. Thanks to Lisa Edy for the connection, we stayed with her old friend Tina and her husband Martin. Once again we had complete strangers go out of their way and treat us to more than we could possibly ask for. Tina and Martin took out to dinner at The Falling Sky Brewery then to every beer drinker's heaven, The Bier Stein. These two basically gave up their house to three strangers and we cannot thank them enough for being so kind. We made the decision to hang around Eugene for a second day, which was excellent because we got another chance to get VooDoo donuts. We walked the U of O campus in our swiftwick U of O socks then went to Oakshire Brewery to see some pickin' and grinnin' by Rachel, our Warm Shower host for tonight. We have gotten the full Eugene experience for sure. Rachel set us up in the guest cobb house. We are now imagining that we are a part of Little House on the Prairie. We are thinkin' we should probably start of scrap book to show the variety of places we have stayed in. As for next few days, we have some pretty big things ahead. As in hills. We have a good, long day with some climbing to Cougar Hot Springs. We just have to keep our eye on the prize for that one. The hot springs will get us ready for a 5,000 ft climb to the top of Mckenzie Pass the next day. We may have little service and phone battery so just stay tuned!
