After a 4am start we transferred to the SF Airport to fly up to Portland Oregon. We had a pleasant flight and it seems all of America is in a great mood after Obama killed Osama.
We were picked up by I guy named bill who I found on the Internet a couple of monthts ago. He drove us the 90 miles down to the coast in his suburban. He was a great guy and the trip down the Columbia river was lovely. Bill even took us on a tour of Astoria before he dropped us at our hotel. The Hotel is AWAeSOME. We walked all over town trying to find gas for our stove and failed. We also did our first shop for food. I spent a few hours putting the bikes together while Lisa washed our gear so we could start fresh tomorrow. Tomorrows ride is a modest 80 km's or so. The first day is always difficult because you have to get the bikes sorted and get used to the traffic. Lisa is pretty pumped about getting stuck into the adventure. I'm still just grumpy as usual.
