Cottage Grove Oregon

Cottage Grove has a "rail to trail" bikepath that takes you past several covered bridges. We had only just started when Brad discovered that the back brakes on his bike no longer worked; luckily the path was only a 2% grade since it was a former rail line back when they hauled ore from the mines in the area.
The first bridge we saw was no longer in use; a new one was built beside it. The second one we saw was on a two lane road and still in use - luckily we didn't have to ride in it - the cars roared through it, barely slowing to see if another car was coming in the other direction, rattling the wooden boards inside. After our bike ride we headed south west to the coast, arriving in Coos Bay just before their only bike store closed, and Brad was able to buy new brake pads for his bike.
