On Saturday, Dave and I took our first bike trip of the year. We rode a portion of the Springwater Trail from SE 82nd to the Willamette River and Sellwood, about 10-11 miles total. We turned around at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge where we stopped to gawk at the adult and young Bald Eagles and 8 Great Blue Herons all hanging out in the wetlands - so beautiful! On our way back through Sellwood, we took a cookie stop at Grand Central Bakery, then we headed back before the impending rain hit. This was a good ride for me since I'm not a big cyclist like Dave, but I hope that it's the start to a good riding year for us both.


not our photos, but these are the big birds we saw!
