Row River Trail bike ride: this is a pleasant out and back 31 mile ride on an old railroad line from Cottage Grove upstream along the Row River. Several historic bridges are viewed and/or crossed along the trail which skirts Dorena Lake and ends at Culp Creek, riding through a mix of wooded and farm stretches. Elevation change is minimal. Several picnic areas along the way provide restrooms and nice lunch options. Trip leader will entertain the possibility of participants lounging over lunch around mile 12 on the reservoir (making it a 25 mile mile round trip) while others complete an additional 3+ miles and return for lunch themselves.
