Hmm..... rest or ride?

It was raining lightly most of the morning, however now the sun is shining between the dark clouds. The breezy conditions have dried the road off...... I was thinking it might have been a good day to take a day of recovery, but now the road is calling. I have one errand yet to run, but might just load up the bike and ride a lap around Hagg Lake if I can get that done yet before dark. It will be close. Check back for an update later today.

EVENING UPDATE:

OK, so "ride" won out over "rest". Lake Stop Store up and around Hagg Lake, back out to Hwy 47 then return back to Lake Stop Store. .... 17 miles not near as quickly as the Banana Belt racers did on Sunday!

and this!

I attempted to ride De Ronde Van Oeste Portlandia last year, but being fresh on the bike after getting hit by a car that ran a stop sign as I rode my bike, I couldn't finish the whole thing. There is a chance of redemption! It has been announced that the event will take place again this year, the date is April 5th, the time is 10AM. The route is said to be even tougher than last year's 44 miles/7200ft. Show yourself what your made of, be there.
