No rain, not too cold, and excellent road conditions. Good turnout as well.
With the Tenners out 53rd to Bellfountain, then turned back. Cold, wet, and miserable.
Ran into Larry as I was turning off on Airport. After the bakery we took Ervin over to Decker and 34 and Gelatly back to Philomath.
First nice day in a week and a half.
Thursday I rode in 70 degree sunshine. Today 40 degree rain. Wouldn’t have done it if I wasn’t the ride leader for this gravel ride.
Birthday ride. Needed 74, got 80. Absolutely perfect day, with a high no less of 74.
Cool and breezy
Short loop. Cooler day but still nice with a little sun. Fresh gravel on McFarlan
Had the Free Bikes For Kids event in the morning then John Ro and I rode to Philomath.
If I did the math right this ride gets me to 1,000 miles for the year, on this the last day of March. If I keep up this pace that would only be 4,000 for the year. Since I hope to do much better than that I will have to pick it up.
Spring weather is still holding.
Another gorgeous spring day. This ride was a lot harder than I remembered.
Nice day. Good turnout.
Started out sunny and cool. Headed north out Crescent Valley, Mountain View, Overlook. Was planning to do the gravel loop out Wiles, D’Armond, Rifle Range after a stop for coffee in Adair. But the fog rolled in and I got cold so I headed up rd 540 to warm up. Continued past the pond and climbed another couple of miles to rd 500. By the time I got to the pond I was above the fog and it was nice. Then another couple of miles up to Vineyard Mountain before dropping back down to Lewisburg Saddle and home via Jackson Creek
11 riders showed up for the first ride of Spring. And Spring it was with temps reaching the upper 60’s. Destination was Timber Towne where they were out of biscuits but the coffee was still good. 4 of us continued south to Airport and then out Keiger Island where we met Grandpa Verne.
Sun showers today. Very spring like.
Bright sunshine to start, stormy rain threatening at the finish.
Plus a couple of other errands. Colder and cloudy today but no rain.
17 people showed up on what turned into a sunny day. Great ride.
Nice day. I was pretty charged. I think I'm feeling stronger after doing Dimple Hill on Thursday.
Up Jackson Creek, down Oak Creek. Some sun, some rain. I seemed to have no difficulty on the climb even though I haven't been doing much climbing this year.
