Location

In downtown Lebanon, Oregon.

Participants

Frogman

Plans

The funny thing about plans is that they don't always end up being followed. For example, I was planning on doing my taxes, but riding my bike to Lebanon seemed more interesting.

Expedition

I rode my bike to Lebanon. It was very flat except for the bridge over Interstate 5. In Lebanon there was a traffic light with a sensor that did not notice bicycles. The car behind me wouldn't pull up any closer to trigger the sensor, so we waited for a couple traffic cycles until I made a highly illegal maneuver and continued on my way.

On the way back home I stopped at my grandma's house. She gave me snacks! It was very nice, in part because my thighs were very sore, as I had done squats with weights previously that day.
