Back from Portland

[Cynic]

We're back.  No Tickets (only the wife was pulled over) and no problems of the bike kind.
Pictures can be found here:

Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll Post some here too.

Over all it was an amazing 2000 miles. I'm beat now after uploading all the pictures, so I'll post more when I have a chance.
Thanks for the good advice, the trip was a success.

Glad you had a good time, thanks for sharing.

You two look so cute here!

Thanks for sharing your pictures! It looks like a lot of fun and is definitely getting me excited about doing the exact same trip in September.

What were those loooong lines of cars about? My g/f doesn't like lane sharing either (not that it's even legal in Oregon).

The lines of cars were because of road closures for construction.  All over the place, it was ... annoying. Only once was the shoulder wide enough, and it was hot enough that the Lovely Wife was comfortable cheating to the front. Normally it's the thing to do since you have a clear road ahead of you to ride at a "fun" pace with no cars in the corners to slow you down.

I haven't driven up to Oregon in 3 years but I remember there being loads of construction along the way back then. I didn't know it was like that all the time. Ugh.
