This Saturday Tina and I rode our bikes from Albany to Corvallis (snagging some blueberrys at the farmer's market along with a grilled calzone.) From there we rode north up to Buena Vista and Independence. In Indepence we ate at a corner soda shop that had tasty burgers and marionberry milkshakes. They were very good - I even drank the rest of Tina's strawberry shake. Being super full made it a little difficult to go up the remaining hills, but it was all good.
We took the Buena Vista ferry across a little river (bikers go free) and rode up the other side. It was neat to ride around this area, it reminded me of Illinois, especially the ferry to Kentucky across the Ohio river.
