Bill, Bria, Marty, Rob, Michael, Eli, Jerry and Al flew into Portland airport. The bikes were assembled and the Kibitzers headed out along the Columbia River to Astoria. From Astoria they followed Highway 101 to Florence. Six members of the group headed inland to Eugene to make connections back to Chicago. Jerry and Al continued down the coast to Brookings. Al headed home from here and Jerry continued south to San Francisco on his own.
