Rides

Reassembled my bike and went for a test ride north on A1A. Very nice to be riding in warm sunshine. I had a nice tailwind heading north for 8 miles which made for a slow slog coming back. Then over the bridge into St. Augustine and a ride through old town before returning to my motel.

Super warm day. Had to get in a short ride. 

Cold, cold but dry. Last ride with the Tuesday group for a while.

Recovery ride before the rain comes back. 

Fog was lifting as we started but got dense out in the valley. Cold all way out but then cleared on the way back. Sunny and warm in town so I stopped for lunch and then rode to Philomath. 

Quick trip to town but so nice and sunny I added a few miles. 

First out Crescent Valley and Mountain View to Adair. Then on to Albany. Sunny upper 50s no wind. 

Rain to start, but it stopped by the time we got to town. The usual good time was had by all.

Seemed like a nice day, but then it rained. But then it stopped.

A bit warmer and no rain. Some headwind on the way back. More miles on the Saga after the big upgrade.

Cold and cloudy. No rain but a little wind. Fine tuning the Saga. 

Cold and cloudy but dry. 

First test ride plus finishing touches on the Saga upgrade. Details in the service log. 

Started out with club but had to split off as I had no power. Nice day though. Partly sunny, upper 40s.

A little cooler but no rain and some sun. Philomath after Imagine then back to the river and a loop through campus. 

Fabulous sunny day. A little cooler to start but warmed right up to the low 50s. Not bad for February. I split from the group on the return and did Airlie De’Armond Wiles Tampico. 
 

Another dry day. A little cooler and windy but I’ll take it. Met up with some fast riders at Timber Towne. 

February off to a good start. Partly sunny, mid 50s. Up Jackson Creek. Made the grunt climb which gives me hope. Mud up above where trucks are hauling boulders. Was thinking about Dimple Hill but opted for Soap Creek and a coffee stop in Adair. Strong headwind coming back.

Still warm. A tiny bit of drizzle but mostly dry. 

Still warm, but now foggy. Not complaining. Salvaged the month at least.

Warm and dry. Even some sunshine. Little wind. A nice April day in January. 

Wasn’t planning on riding as the forecast was saying rain, but then I noticed it wasn’t raining and the updated forecast said no more rain! And then I saw it was 58 degrees!

So very nice ride on the farm roads off of Peoria Road. Moderate headwind going out, nice tailwind coming home. 

No more ice! It even stopped raining for a day and we got a little sunshine. 

After a week of ice the roads have finally thawed out enough to ride. Short loop to document the flooding.

Rain. Cold and rainy. Spirits were high though.

Rain stopped and there was some blue sky, but a cold south wind. Loop back around town to get the miles. 

First ride of the year. Managed to get out during a break in the rain. 

Late start and then had to fight the rain, but eventually the sun came out. 

Warmer and not raining. Fog rolled in but then lifted.

Sunny day. Not as warm as yesterday but quite nice. The gravel roads are in great shape. Even saw Mt. Hood.

Down to the river, out and back on the bike path, coffee at Bihdis and then a loop out the 34 bike path. Nice day after a bunch of cold ones.

No rain, no fog, no wind, no sun.

 Clear and sunny and not to cold. We had 12 riders which is not unusual.

Warm with a little drizzle and light rain. We wanted to see how high the river was so rode down through Southtown on the river path. Then to Bodhi's on 1st for coffee.

It stopped raining long enough for a quick ride through town. Very warm at 61°

Cloudy but not cold. Much better than the freezing fog in the valley. Camped at Tilicum.  The Yachats valley is still the most beautiful ride of all.

Took the Ravn on the beach. Couldn’t resist it was such a nice evening. Was careful to avoid water.

Sunny and cold. Very nice. Went to The Brim in Albany. Good to be back on the Grando.

Plus a loop out Grange Hall Rd. Sunny and not too cold. As good as it gets for November. 

Cold fog to start. Some sun on the way home.
