Trip Report

9 riders gathered in cold fog at Armitage Park for the ride north. It was sunny in Eugene but the valley stayed foggy throughout the day. We rode through the town of Coburg, over the freeway on Diamond Hill Rd. and climbed the hill on Gap Rd., arriving in Brownsville in time for cinnamon rolls and other delicacies at about 11:30. We returned avoiding the Gap Road hill and arrived safely back at Armitage around 2:30. A wonderful time was had by all.
