Lorane-Fox Hollow, or A Lovely Summer Afternoon Ride

27 August 2007 in eugene

Last Sunday afternoon (August 19) I was running some errands at 29th and Willamette, and realized I really wanted to zoom past both Market of Choice and the bank and ride my bike up into the hills for a while instead. On Tuesday, August 21, I got that wish. We rode Lorane-Fox Hollow (map here) and it was very pretty:

and I was very happy:

There was a big bad climb followed by a beautiful valley and a breathtaking descent (here’s Peter doing his best to brake and hold Pepé steady while I snap a picture of that last):

Also we stopped at an all-you-can-eat blackberry bramble, and that was pretty excellent, too. Whee!
