I stopped within a half mile of starting when I saw a line of wild blackberries that was just black with ripe berries. I was too busy stuffing my face to take pictures!
I continued on for a lunch stop, then pedaled over to Memorial Park. I just puttered around, reading about an old barn and making my skinny tired fixie pretend it was a mountain bike.
It is a lost opportunity that Wilsonville is on the banks of the Willamette River, and even has a sizable park on the waterfront, but really has no public access. Rather than accessible trails, or perhaps even a dock and boat landing, the river edge can only be accessed by bushwhacking through thick undergrowth. Once I got to the river and enjoyed the cool air and rested awhile. It was 94 degrees, but was at least 5-10 degrees cooler on the shady bank.
By the time I got finished puttering around, it was dinner time, and I had logged 24 miles.
