Trip Report

Flexibility was the mantra for the day. Waking-up to fog in Eugene had cancelation echos in my head. It didn't take long for the heavy mist to dissipate and then I headed for the start point in Coburg. Upon arrival it was socked in and not safe to ride. With a consensus we drove back to Eugene and rode out Lorane Hwy, over Briggs, Territorial, Lorane and back via Fox Hollow. I hit a hole in the road and flatten my tubeless tire. Not usual to have a flat with tubeless, but tubed it and rode-on. Finally we had lunch at Hideaway at the ride's near end.
