Monroe via Philomath and Bellfountain

After a week a DrupalCon Denver it was really good to get back on the bike. Forecast was for showers but it turned out to be mostly sunny. Took Fern road out of Philomath to Decker Rd., then Bellfountain to Alpine. From Monroe I tried to find a way though town to get to Old River Road but could not. Had to head North out of town to Stowe Pitt road to get to Old River Road. A few miles on the highway and then Smith Loop. By now the wind was fierce out of the west which made riding on the highway a bit tricky.
Lat 2 rides I have had no plan when I rode off and ended up with exactly 60 miles both times.
