Day 1 - Medford, OR

I got an early start this morning because I knew it would be one of the longer days mileage wise. Also, since it was supposed to rain I decided to allow for more time off the bike to dry out and warm back up. It worked out well and I managed to pull in to my hotel by 8pm. It was a good days of riding but the clouds and rain made for few pictures. I was able to visit a couple new dams and a few of the bonus locations were at interesting places. Oregon has a lot of covered bridges and my ride took me past several of them today. Many of the covered bridges are historic and not functional any more, but you can drive across a few still.

Today's mileage - right at 650 miles. 2 pairs of gloves - hopefully they both dry out tonight - and everything else held up to the rain just fine.

Here's my trip link again. Day 1 is there and you can choose the data you want to see. Click on the ride name in the upper left and select "Adjustments". That will allow you to choose how much data you want to see. My Spot transmitter updates every 5 minutes.

Monday is a bit shorter day mileage wise, but quite a few more bonus stops along the way. Hoping to get to my hotel by 8pm again to catch The Voice final. :)

One of many functional covered bridges in Oregon.

One of two dams in Oregon I visited - this one is Fall Creek Dam.

Another covered bridge - this one was a bonus location and was a picture match.

Visited an airport in Oregon and found this cool mural.

Dorena Dam.

Snapshot of my trip today. Was hoping for a better average but hard to do with so many stops.
