Backroads of Oregon

Unfortunately I did NOT remember the camera today, but I promise to bicycle these roads again and post some pics because what I saw is just too pretty for words. Andrea found the route on "map my ride" and I jotted it down this morning before riding with her to school. The area around Hillsboro and Forest Grove supports a slew of ag operations, from CSAs to vineyards, hazelnut groves, and rose gardens. Best of all, these are nestled between Mt. Hood on one side and the Coastal Range on the other. It's really picturesque, and it reminds me a bit of the roads I cycled in Provence (minus the cool Roman fountains and such, of course).
