Cool morning and not hot afternoon. 

Gathering Together Farm 22 Soma Saga Easy Rollers

Nice ride. Good turnout. 

Decker - Hiatt - Starr Creek - Smith Loop 54 Grando

Want to get a longer ride in soon but today was windy and it got hot in the afternoon. 

Southtown 20 Soma Saga

Easy cruise around town. Warmer today.

Back home trying to keep the momentum going from Loop Tour. 

Home 53 Ravn LT2 Riders

Elmira 53 Ravn LT2 Riders

Another gorgeous ride. Two tough climbs and a couple of other hard climbs. Ocbow and Wolf Creek. 

Smith River CG 30 Ravn LT2 Riders

Absolutely gorgeous ride. The Smith River valley is less populated than the Yachats valley and almost as beautiful. 

Around Reedsport 20 Ravn

Layover day. Cool and breezy. 

Reedsport 22 Ravn LT2 Riders

Easy day along the Umpqua. Got to see a lot of elk. 

Loon Lake 58 Ravn LT2 Riders

Today was the big day. Big miles and 4000’ of climbing. I felt great. Super low gears let me climb even the 15+% grades, very slowly. But I never had to get off and push. 

Sutherlin 38 Ravn LT2 Riders

Some hard climbs and endless hills. Cool in the morning but almost hot by afternoon.

Hot morning. Slow ride. 

Philomath 20 Grando Easy Rollers

10 people showed up for the ride to Philomath. Got hot on the way back. 

Hiatt - Decker - Ervin 38 Ravn John VS, Paul R

Met up at Hiatt and did Decker. Then John and I went back over Ervin. 
Pushed hard on Decker. Felt good. Still considering Ravn for LT. Took it easy over Ervin. Got really tired before I got home. 

Lewisburg Saddle 24 Grando

It's official, I'm taking Grando on Loop Tour. It is just so much more responsive than my other bikes. Climbs well, and with weight on the front I get no shimmy on the fast descents.

Home via bus - plus town 12 Ravn

From south beach to Hatfield center to catch the bus, then home. 

Beachside - Yachats - South Beach 31 Ravn

Slept in and had a leisurely ride into Yachats, where I ran into Bruce H and his wife at the Green Salmon. Then back north into the wind which got progressively stronger. I was stopping a lot until I realized I had to get back to the WiFi at South Beach for a 4:00 meeting. Just made it in time.
