Rides

Three Capes!

Another nice day. Rain supposed to start tonigh. 

Layover day in Astoria. 

Nice ride. 

Followed an Oregon Randonneur route from McMinnville with nice rolling hills. Late second breakfast in Banks. 

The BV Trail was harder than I expected. I probably wore myself out on the rolling hills, plus too heavy a meal in Banks, plus terrible rough pavement which really beat me up. Nice on the downhill side. Camping at Anderson part right on the trail in Vernonia  

Nice start to LT19. Cloudy in the morning and then clearing throughout the day. Some headwind. Camping at Yamhill fairgrounds. 

Afternoon ride to the garden

TRaining for mini-loop

Pre ride for loop tour. Unfortunately John went down and gashed his elbow. 

Out to Philomath - Crow and then all the way to Monmouth highway on Kings Valley Road. Back Helmick and 99W. Nice day. North wind provided tailwind going home.

A couple of hot days. Mid 90's

Getting warmer. 

I got an early start because I was doubting I could finish in 10 hours. I did better than expected and finished with 48 minutes to spare. Really hard though. I don’t think I need to do anymore 100 mile rides. 

Really nice day. Cool but NO RAIN!! Did get the headwind for the last 15 miles. 

Riding to school with January. 

Not nearly ready for the Strawberry Century but maybe will make it.

Not ready for the Strawberry Century in 4 days. 5 hours to do 50 miles, mostly flat. Headwind must have worn me out. 

Gorgeous day. Sunny and warm. 

Cool mornings, warm afternoons. 

Got out early for a short ride. Cool and cloudy with rain coming. 

Shool with January and a couple of trips to town.

Tuesday ride, RoS, School with January and more. 

Left at 9 with Eric, Rann and Doreen, and Frank and Kathy. The rest of the gang left earlier. Eric had to get to a mother's day event. Kathy and Frank decided to keep riding when Rann, Doreen, and I stopped for second breakfast. So the three of us took it slow and stopped again in Independence for a snack, and Lewisburg for ice cream. Not as hot as yesterday with some clouds.

Very warm day. We left from in front of the middle school at 9:00. Nice group. Usual route via WVSB. some headwind on Windsor Island road.

Jean, Kathy and Frank joined us at the park.

South Beaver Creek then up North Beaver Creek. 

Nice warm day. Some headwind coming back. Large group left Osborn. Some split off at various places. After Bellfountain Park we went to Hiatt Farm and then a few of us went over Decker.

Very nice weather. 

Put the worn out Compass tires back on and went for a short spin. Sure enough I got a flat. Nice day though. 

Nice day for a liesurly cruise around town dressed up like an Englishman,

Betty’s 58 mile birthday ride. Cloudy and cool at first but warmed up nicely. Very windy on the return, some of which was a tailwind. 

We added in Elkins road to get the miles. 

Excellent spring weather, with some wind.

Two days. To school with January. Tuesday old guy ride. Garden. Warming up but very windy today.

Nice leisurely ride on South Beaver Creek and 101 into Newport. Got on the bus and had a nice nap before the bus broke down a mile past Blodgett. So I rode the rest of the way. 

First south on Crestline to where it comes out on Wakonda Beach Road. Then to Beachside. I wanted to go to Cape Perpetua but stiff north wind told me to turn around and ride into it for a while. So north to Seal Rock it was. Sunny and nice except for the wind. 

Warm spring day in the 70’s. Took 34. Traffic was very light. 

Tuesday old guys group. No rain. 

Sunny skies and warmer. Trail was smoother also.

Gray skies but no rain. Rough and rocky rail-to-trail. Nice single track on lower section.

Another tenners ride. Light rain througout. Stopped at Hiatt bakery and then did Decker

A couple of trips to town plus an outing with the old guys checking out the flooded lowlands.

My wonderful friends helped me pull of my ride-your-age birthday ride. It was miserable and we had a great time. It rained almost the entire 9 hours we were out there, stopping for maybe 10 minutes at a time just to tease us. However wind was not a factor so it could have been worse, and at 50 degress no one got too cold.

Exploring the neighborhood. I was so tempted to take my bike on the beach, Gotta get a beach cruiser.
