A social ride............

........in the middle of a longer ride. I took a tip from my Oregon Randonneur friends who "ride to the ride". I thought it might be a good thing to finally ride with a social bike group I belong to. They were planning on riding 25-30 miles with a coffee stop in the middle. I rode to Gladstone High School where the group had a planned 10AM shove off. We rode into Portland via residential streets and Springwater and Waterfront Trails. We crossed the Steel Bridge and made our way down to River Place where we stopped for a time and had sandwiches, warm drinks, etc. We then made our way back. All tolled, 32 miles with the group, in 5 hours. ;-)
Add that to the 64 mile round trip commute and it was a good day! It started out cloudy and a bit cool, but cleared up by afternoon.
