We went out to breakfast with Andrea at some hipster cafe. The food and coffee were good but all I could think about was what a bubble Eugene is. All these hippy-ish people packed into such a small area, 20 minutes riding in any direction will take you back to the land of pickups and logging.
Brad bought a new tape recorder and second long sleeve shirt. We packed up and got out the door by 15:15, leaving behind only the flag I praised in the last email (hopefully we can be reunited with it in Portland). Riding north to Corvallis to visit the BikeE offices and let them know that Brad wants a kickstand on his ride.
We were pulling down the miles because any time we'd stop our allergies would go freaking nuts. Brad would be rubbing his eyes and I'd be alternating between sneezing and shooting snot rockets. I don't know why but some how they supercharged Brad, a few times I was pumping and still couldn't catch him.
If we'd left at a reasonable hour we could have made the forty something miles to town and had light to find the campground. As it was we made it to Corvallis by dark but the KOA was in Albany 4 miles away. We rolled out there with no trouble but decided we'd try to leave earlier next time.
Those of you who got my emails on the way to Salt Lake City last year may
recall I vowed never to stay at a KOA campground again. Well the Albany KOA has
restored the name. Unlike the Ely KOA, they've got a pool, laptop hookup (dang I
should have brought it
Tomorrow: go visit BikeE (our bike's manufacture) then out to the Pacific.
