Oregon cycle no. 5

Grandson-sitting duties meant I set off much later than I intended for my carefully planned morning cycle today. I had mapped out a route, but, of course, I had never actually travelled it before so didn't know quite what to expect.

In the end, the run was 30 miles with a bit of climbing, which, with the heat building up, meant frequent refuelling stops - or photo opportunities as we like to call them. My elapsed time was 3 hours 22 mins. Here's the full stats - http://www.strava.com/activities/176462352

Photo op no. 1 came at a filling station, next to Peaceful Valley Lane:

The next one was as I crossed the Rogue river at Robertson Bridge and tried to take a selfie - without using a timer:

I thought the cornfields might be an interesting backdrop:

I think that's this week's cycling over - need to rest now.
