| The rain threatened to return but never really did - perfect, overcast yet warm warm cycling weather. This is before the 'Big Dip'. |
Tim has to pedal hard to keep up on his once-was Rocket Llama now Pocket Llama. This bike's been stolen, recovered, and had it's paint changed 3 times! |
Monty and Gaylynn from BF put their new Tilite XL through its paces. Who'd have thought Gaylynn is a 4th time cancer survivor? |
There they go! Monty set the pace. pulling us along at 25-30 mph - so much for the Sutherlin amble. However, we did catch Maxi and George who'd left a while ago... |
Gaylynn seems to be standing in a strange fog - perhaps the toy soldier is casting a spell on her? This is Tolly's in Oakland, a real live soda fountain. |

| The back of Tolly's Oakland, where the chef made Tim Link a birthday peanut milkshake just like he'd remembered from 20 years ago ... |
The covered bridge came in darn handy when it bucked down briefly! |
Ling and Steve discuss wedding plans, Tim is glad he's not getting trapped like that! |
People who play together, stay together ... |
The Sutherlin Inn's TV's had been sabotaged by the previous cable provider such that my Peru DVD wasn't playable - two laptops and strained ears did the trick. |

| Anne Holmquist has done this tour at least twice! |
A fabulous 75 cent coffee stop with a deck overhanding the river... |
A meal of Ray's plastic bags - very appetizing. The Sunday route stops at this park with an iron pump after 17 scenic riverside miles. |
The ice-cream stop, barely 10 minutes after the Sunday lunch stop! |
Anne and Richard at the ice cream stop. Richard is already falling asleep after the double choc sugar hit. |
