Rides

Over Mountain View and Overlook, then just roaming around the old base and wildlife refuge.

Out Jackson Creek, then out towards Chip Ross park on back on Dan's Trail. I kept going and road all the way up Lower Dan's and half way up Upper Dan's. I was impressed with how well my bike and I were climbing.

Cooler day. Rained after I got home.

Out past Philomath to Llewelyn. Back on Bellfountain. Getting hot. 

Up and over - Soap Creek - Old Adair - Beck over Mt. View.

Warm, almost hot today.

I need to do shorter more frequent rides, but keep up the intensity. Perfect ride for that today. Up and down Jackson Creek.

Getting warmer. 

Warmer day. Still working my way back into shape.

First ride since starting blood pressure med. Felt good. First up Jackson creek to the road to Chip Ross. Then back Dan's Trail and up the road to the Dans/Horse connector. Then north and down Jackson Creek. A couple of good climbs.

The rain it quit and the sun came out and I went for a bike ride. 

Started to go up Jackson Creek in Mac forest but I really didn’t have the energy. Started seeing a lot of people so I went back down and rode the old roads and trails around Adair. 

Another 80 degree day. 

Pettibonr - Independence - Palestine - Scenic - Springhill - Buena Vista - Prather - Independence - Souver - Airlee - D’Armond -  Robeson - Wiles - Tampico - Soap Creek - Coffin Butte - Camp Adair - Wildlife Refuge - Frontage Rd. - Adair - 99w - Arboretum - 99w. 

Warm day. 82 when I got home. Rode out into a headwind and flew back. 

Solo ride. Club rides are canceled due to Corona virus. Nice day

Gorgeous day for a ride during the pandemic. Coffee shops are closed so we had a picnic in the park, while trying to maintain our distance. 

First down Garden to my secret spot by the river to enjoy my "social distancing" lunch. Yes we are here in th Corona Virus pandemic right now. Hopefully there are still people around to read this in the future.

Beautiful late winter day. Mid fifties, but very windy.

Started in Adair. Tampico - Wiles - Rifle Range - DeArmond - Airlie - Helmick - Simpson - Sauerkraut - Airlie - Berry Creek - Tampico. Another nice day. 

Gorgeous sunny day. Cold to start but warmed up right away. 

Cold early start on first day of daylight time. Got sunny but not very warm. Some mud but not too bad. Wore me out. 

Another nice day. The single track was fun, and in good shape except for one muddy section. 

Nice spring like weather. The geezers are not the Not Over The Hill gang. 

Another great Tenners ride. Made it to Shedd before the deluge. Waited it out at the market, and then made it home before the next storm hit. 

Afternoon ride just as the weather was moving in. We parked at Sauerkraut road on Simpson and rode from there.

Got January out for a short ride on a sunny day.

Another string of sunny days. 

Short ride with January after. 

Spectacular day for February. Burns Vista ferry to Ankeny wildlife refuge. Independence and back on Stapleton and Helmick. 

A streak of sunny days in February Wow! 

Sunny day. I waited for it to warm up and it did. Nice views of the mountains.

Crescent Valley- Mountain View - Overlook - Hood View. Back on 20. 

Geezers ride plus. Vastly outnumbered by trikes. 

Nice Tenners ride. Out Tangent to Seven Mile and into town on Periwinkle Trail. Some rain, some wind, some sun. 

First ride of the month. Just haven’t been motivated. 

Out to Decker then back Peterson. I split from the group and took Ervin back over to Decker. Back 34 to Philomath where I stopped at Timber Towne Coffee. 

Round and round the wildlife refuge. Then back through town. No rain. Around 50. 

Drove to Falls City. Rode Frost Road, Teal Creek, Gardener, Liberty, Barnhart, Oakdale, and Falls City Highway. Lots of hills, lots of gravel, some loose. Warmer with no rain.

Cut short a Tenners ride and went to new coffee shop in Philomath. Timber Town Coffee or something. Very good. 

Got out in the afternoon. It was almost sunny, but then it rained. 

Put the Almotion tires back on the Ravn getting ready to head south. 

Geezers ride and around. 

Made the Tenners ride. Some rain, some wind, but all in all a good ride. 

50 degrees, no rain, no sun, some wind. Riding the Ravn. 

A different kind of New Year's Day ride. Didn't go with the club. Went solo on the Ravn, but didn't head up into the woods. I went south and rode the mud at Willamette Park. Nice day although it rained pretty good on the way home.

2 Geezers rides. I’ve been laying off the bike as much as possible since going over 5k for the year. I need the recovery. But it was warmer and not raining today so I couldn’t resist one last ride for the second decade of the century. 

Finished the year 30 miles shy of last year’s total and I’m fine with that. 

Cold but dry with some fog. Started out flat but ended with some serious climbing, Fox Hollow being the hardest. It was good to see some of my Rando friends again. This rice also put me over 5,000 miles for the year.
