thanks. I didn't really get to see much of either towns during my visits. i basically only saw skinner butte, which seemed like a pretty sweet spot for hill repeats, and was told there was a nice beach 20 miles that way.
I would be moving from Austin btw.
Just looking at the rent prices, I think Eugene is definitely going to be better in terms of $$$
aside from that though, I'm also interested in the people. The guys in Oregon seemed more chill (perhaps too chill). In some cases that's nice. The job is probably going to be more laid back and I get to direct more attention towards other pursuits. OTOH, I feel like OC area might have a greater concentration of ambitious people with entrepreneurial mindsets, and that's something I find great value in. Would you say this is true?
sorry didn't mean to turn this into something not about riding/racing.
