Short and sweet

Nah, not a new love interest, better than that, A BIKE RIDE!

Mark sent out an email this morning looking for company on an afternoon ride. I bit.

We met in Beaverton and rode up to Skyline then along Skyline to Old Cornelius Pass Rd and back down to the valley....via a hot chocolate rest stop at Frank's house!

Our ROUTE

Only 26 miles but with 1952 feet of climbing, virtually all of it in the first 8 miles. The weather was awesome, beautiful blue sky, moderate temperatures, pretty much dead calm. The views from Skyline were pretty darn good. The roads were dry so we both brought out "the good bike".

(as usual, clicking on the photos will bring you to a full sized version)


Mark was on his really neat Renovo bamboo bike. A work of art!


I finally crossed the 500mi/month mark. A week ago it looked like that would not be likely but a pretty decent spell of good weather helped turn that around.
A friend, Joanne, tells me that she just turned 10,500 for the year. Even if she were to stop riding the rest of the year I'd be hard pressed to catch her. I guess I'll have to concede the "battered saddle award" to her!
