A change in the weather

We've been enjoying some beautiful weather recently, frosty mornings but clear blue skies. The east wind through the Columbia Gorge has been keeping clouds and morning fog at bay. That wind has moderated and today the clouds are back. The weather guru's say that we are likely to see some sprinkles this afternoon and are very likely to have a wet Saturday, possibly even some snow by Sunday. I'm planning on riding 200k on Saturday with some friends so I'll be keeping a close eye on that.

In the meantime, maybe it's time to brush up on chain lubing technique?

The right way to lube a bike chain

In the afternoon I took advantage of a little lull in the action and went out for one of my recent favorite short rides, albeit with significant climbing.
