Thank you Portland for everything! We were happy to move on and experience Brownsville, the oldest town in Oregon which is where I had breakfast and a coffee with the Mayor. A city councilwoman showed me the art center as well. Apparently it is where they filmed Stand by me. A lot of people come from all around the world to celebrate it once a year in the summer time. It was a small and quaint town, above is the picture of Adley talking to the Mayor.

We rode through a trail for much of the ride. Went swimming in a cold river too!

We rode through Salem on the way to Eugene and found ourselves in the midst of a pokemon battle ground, or gym as the kids call it. We were laughing so hard at the game because it was the first time we had seen it in action, and the first time that some people in our crew actually knew how big the game was. This was a memorable moment!

Our first night in Eugene we played at Vanilla Jills which was a ice cream shop that had a venue in the backyard of the shop. We had a great turn out with tons of people dancing. It was epic!

We stayed at a cooperative in Eugene that was about a block long but all the houses did not have fences. Instead, they took down the fences and built homes, tiny houses and gardens. It was a flourishing community and we were so excited to stay there. Complete with a fish pond, treehouse and more! I feel so thankful I was able to stay there and meet such beautiful people, living out their dreams.

Our second show was Eugene was so much fun, playing at the park for the sunday street closures. Lots of people that supported bicycles. We stayed at a cooperative that hosted all 18 of us. We gained Sierra and Robyn during this time and Mike Cobb and Kelly came by too! The street closure was about 10 city blocks wide and there were so many families and people out enjoying the community. I guess they pick a different street each month of summer to be apart of the street closure. I say they pick some streets and do it year round! Amazing!

We had two big sponsorships come through in Eugene. The first was Nutcase helmets that donated a bunch of colorful and different style of helmets. The other was party in my pants which is reusable menstrual pads for women. All gear donated and we were so happy to be supported by them both! Thank you!
