We'll do our annual ride between July & October. The Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway.

The official starting point is Champoeg State Park outside of Newberg but we start from our house.

Day 1: Beaverton ---> Newberg
Day 2: Newberg ---> Independence
Day 3: Independence ---> Brownsville
Day 4: Brownsville ---> Coburg/Eugene
Day 5: Amtrak home to Portland/MAX to Beaverton

This year we may do it reverse. Taking Amtrak to Eugene and starting from there following the same schedule above in reverse order. Might feel like it's a new route.

Actual route is 134 miles but because we start or end at home and take side trips into a few places (Corvallis for example) we end up doing 200-250 miles.

Never really know when we're leaving until a week or so before. Always waiting until the 10 day forecast calls for sunshine
