What's not to like? It takes DAYS to walk from one winery or brewpub to the next. You can be there in just a few hours on a bike!

Get a tandem and let your friend or whomever pull you.

You can start in Portland, have a beer or four, and stumble, bike-wise, into Bluffton, where Doug I've heard is a great host. From there go to Rhineland for a beer or four, then Hermann where you can drink all night. Ride back to Portland the next morning hungover. 34 miles round trip. You can do it!

And if you do want to walk here I would be glad to pick up any supplies you might want waiting when I go to the store. It is actually a quite pleasant walk here from Portland. Very scenic with places to sit and relax along the way.

P.S. Thanks for the kind words Hank!

Doug, my wife and I ride that section often. We stopped by once last summer but you were out. We'll try again this year.

I'm not ashamed to mention that Katy riding for us is often just bar-hopping on bikes. We don't get too drunk to drive but we do get oiled up well enough to not feel the knees and hips creak.
