Today we drove to La Grande to ride part of the Grande Tour Scenic Bikeway. The entire route is a 134 mile figure 8. We rode out to Union, OR, and back for a total of 36 miles. That didn't sound like too long a ride, but by the time we finished, we were definitely ready to be out of the saddle.
The ride starts at Riverside Park in La Grande, but most of the miles are along OR 203, which has no bike lanes and is fairly heavily traveled.
At Union City we stopped for lunch and a rest at Union Drug Co. Part of the Union Drug Co. building now includes a "Soda Fountain and Espresso" shop. We had a delicious lunch and authentic soda shop brownie hot fudge ice cream and a rich, thick, chocolate milkshake. The service was small town friendly.
On the way home we passed these adorable miniature horses and just had to stop.
