I worked in the morning and drove into Bend in the afternoon with the trailer. Before I left I stopped at Blazin Saddles and rode a couple of bikes, nothing felt like the geometry of my old Giant Iguana. I realized I'd want an older bike and resolved to make that happen.
Arriving at Bend I found Scandia RV Park which is a nice little place, tidy, clean, well managed, with 3 separate Internet WIFI networks, from three separate providers ranging in speeds from 500kbps, 10mbps, and 20mps - I was in heaven.
This place was pretty unremarkable.
I ended up in spot 309, and was next to Drew, Dana, and ?? (I'll remember)
They were down from Canada, Vancouver area and loved mountain biking. I still didn't have a bike, but they accepted that I liked biking.
Fortunately earlier that day I had messaged a girl on Craigslist who was selling a bike.
She responded and I ran over to her place and grabbed my new Norco mountain bike.
Later that night I went out on a date with Lisa (from Tinder). Lisa is a college professor, super chill, I thought we really got along, the beer was great. We started at "The Lot" which is basically a food truck lot, that serves beer. After that we went to another bar across the street, closed it, then went to west-side?? a dive bar that was already hopping. I had such a good time.
I decided to stay in town to see where that relationship would go, while exploring everything else Bend had to offer.
