1 down, 1 to go

As in one ride of our Keizer Metric Century route today, and one more planned tomorrow.


(L to R: David, Wendy, Doak, and Marcie. I was behind the camera and Viswesh had not yet arrived but did shortly after the photo was taken)

Today 6 of us met to ride. 4 folks opted to ride a 42 mile alternative route that I had mapped. It was a good day where just about everything went right. First off, 100% of those who said they were coming did so, unheard of in meetup groups. Second, we didn't have so much as a single drop of rain on our ride. Timing was nearly perfect. Those of us on the 62 mile route got to the first spot where our routes coincided after about an hour of riding, at the same time as the 42 mile riders did. After the full route the 62 milers finished up a mere 15 minutes before the 42 mile riders did.

After riding the 62 I backtracked on the 42 mile route until I met the other riders and then joined them on a ride back to the finish.

Doak and I road the 62 today. Doak worked me pretty hard, keeping me well behind him most of the time. Hope I have enough left to ride decently tomorrow. I have 9 signed up to join on a second riding of this route. With a predicted 90% chance of rain we'll see how many show up.
