Accross America Making Their Way to Portland, OR!

Yesterday the Across America Trekkers dipped their wheels in the Pacific, and with wet toes, began to make their way to Portland.  The group spent extra time going over the Drop System and different safe biking tactics before setting off on their hilly route.  After a 65 mile ride, the group relaxed at a campsite in Ranier, Oregon.  Rainier is an little town on the Columbia River, which means that opposite the narrow river is Washington State and Mount Rainier.

Today the group will arrive in Portland, a youthful city famous for laid back people and cyclists.
