Via Thompson Mills. Fast pace out. Solo back at easier pace. Nice day.
I have lost endurance. This was a hard ride for me. Should have been easy.
From Bayshore. Out South Beaver Creek back on 101. Then a loop of Bayshore. Gorgeous day.
Got caught in a soaker.
Over Ervin. Had a flat. Spare tube no good. Patched the first one but it leaked. Made it halfway up Decker and had to pump it up. Went back down and took 34 stopping to pump every 10 minutes. Finally found a good spot to sit down and patch it again, which worked.
Cool and almost rain
No big ride today. Cool and very windy.
Got out early enough that it was pleasant until just as I was getting home. Still not too hot.
Into town on 20. Through Southtown to Airport to Fern to Philomath.
Not as hot as yesterday
Getting hot and it's only June 1
Sort ride, still nursing back pain

Didn't really ride with the group as I had some stops to make, but met them at Imagine.
Nice day. A little hot. This ride is too hard for me.
Perfect day. Lots of riders. A little hot at the end.

warm day and I was dressed too hot.
From Bayshore. After a hot week in the valley it feels pretty cold over here. Not much wind though.

Tuesday old guys. Very windy.
Headed out into an increasing headwind. Zigged west to avoid it. It mostly worked and we avoid a direct headwind over Berry Creek and back Airlie and Suver. Into the wind again to the Buena Vista turn off. Nice tailwind home, except for a little crosswind.
First MVBC Sunday gravel ride. Good turnout. Sunny and cool with a stiff north wind.
