Description:

Meeting Place: County Farm and Fox Meadow Roads (This is north, off Coburg Rd -- near the First Baptist Church of Eugene. It is *before* Armitage Park)

We'll explore the hills and country roads around Springfield.

Tip: In Winter we need more contact with the road surface and less psi should do it. If the psi range on the sidewall calls for 60-80 psi, fill 60-65.

Trip Report

The weather of course plays a major role in whether a trip will happen or not. I prayed for sun and got no fog. No flats, no dropped chains and no dropped riders=a good ride.
