Today we had nicer weather! No hail in the face while descending, not even a cloud in the sky! We left northern Hillsboro and made our way to 185th Ave which we took to Germantown Rd then jogged over to Old Cornelius Pass Rd which we took to Skyline Rd. We moved over a bit on Skyline and took Newberry Rd down to Sauvie Island. Carol was pretty happy to have accomplished the climb AND the descent.
Little did she know at the time, but the return route would be significantly harder!
We crossed over the new Sauvie Island Bridge and stopped at the little store at it's foot for a snack.
After a bit both the bike and I were anxious to get going again!
On Sunday our group rode two laps, today we rode one lap with an addition of an out and back along the Columbia River. It was a beautiful day for a ride.
Carol had requested a route today of "about 60 miles with a few hills". I delivered.
We rode two big hills today, and one slightly smaller one. That's more than "a couple" less than "several", must be "a few"! ;-)
Here's Carol suffering up the last of Logie Trail.
Next time she'll probably choose her words more carefully!
We ended up today with 62 miles and 4994 ft of climbing.

This ride came up in my Facebook memories today. I sure wish I could still ride like this.
