Rides

Back with the Tuesday group post crash. 

First ride 6 weeks post crash. 

Started out great. Ended with a broken clavicle. 

This was the day we’ve been waiting for. Olympic Discovery Trail at its finest. Perfect day. 

Gorgeous route on the Olympic Discovery Trail. Cool morning, sunny afternoon. 

Easier day, and I needed it. Cooler but the sun came out at camp. 
Traffic lightened up after the bridge. 

Really hard day. Over 3000’ of climbing with a lot over 10%. Perfect weather. Very scenic.  A lot of traffic.

Cool morning, warm afternoon. Rode mostly with Rick, Camdis, Joe, and Dan U

Felt great to be riding light. 

Unaccounted miles 

Grando is out of commission. Rear rim has a crack. Took the Ravn out to see if I want to ride it on Loop Tour. Very slow on the climbs but otherwise went well. 
warm, getting hot. Nice tail wind coming home. 

Set up the bike for loop tour. Rides well but still sluggish compared to the Grando. 
Got some Keen sandals for LT. I may be done with SPD for good. 

Lovely day for a ride after. A stop at Imagine 

Ran some errands on the Ravn to see how the tires were doing. Just fine. 

Nice day. Still not too hot. 

Valley of the Rogue Park to Rogue River, then most of the way to Gold Hill. 

Wore myself out trying to hang with the group. Extra miles at the end. Got windy. 

Up and down through Ochoco national forest. 

Fantastic ride from Mitchell to Priest Hole. The descent through Girds Creek canyon was spectacular. 

Priest Hole to Mitchell   Very nice. 

I did not make it up to Round Lake. 2/3 up then back down to ride single track in the preserve. 

Hard ride. Harder drive. Great views. 

Out and back to the lemonade stand. Rocky road. 

A couple of trips to the garden and around. 

Nice day. Strong north wind but it was at our backs more than in our face. 

I led the first Melo Velo ride of the summer. Nice day 

Several trips to garden and around. 

Cold morning. Took awhile to warm up.

Got a ride with Nelson to the start, but I couldn't keep up so decided to ride home instead.

Bailed on the Sunday gravel ride and rode home through Finley on Bruce Road. Then 99w into a headwind.

Perfect day in May. A little windy at the end. Extra climbing on Scenic

Fabulous ride. Sunny and cool to start but warmed up right away. Big climb on Wyeth road. Then newer bike trail and three waterfalls. 
Road closed after Starvation Creek but we kept going. Some older pavement but then brand new trail started at Viento Park 

Started out cool and cloudy but the sun came out and it warmed up nicely. 

Gorge Campout day 1. Back to normal cool spring. 

Gorgeous day marred by a crash. Rann and Doreen had a front blowout on the Tandem and went down hard at high speed. 

Active transportation event at OSU 

Warmer today. Great lunch in Vernonia. 

Camped at SS SP. 

I struggled with the heat. Just not ready for 90. Great ride though. New bike bridge into Salem. 

Very hot. Strong headwinds. Great lunch by Jean. Wonderful. 

Test ride after new wheel, cassette, chain and brake pads. Shiny.
