I'd be happy to take you on a tour around town. The River trail system is near the U of O and offers 22 miles along the Willamette River. The Fern Ridge Bike Path starts at the end of 15th Street (at the fair grounds) and goes west to the West Eugene Wetlands area.
Thanks for the tips, and the offer. I had seen Paul's on the web, but your recommendation helps me narrow the search.
As for the ride -- our schedule is still in flux. Guess it will depend on whether, too. I'm also going to try to get my son to agree to "letting" me take a quick tour of the Bike Friday factory while we're in town, too.
