4 of us met this morning for a ride. The plan was to ride from Hillsboro over the West Hills to join some other folks on a couple of laps around Sauvie Island then ride back over the hill and return to Hillsboro.
After a glorious day yesterday, we were met with intermittent rain and even hail today!
The ride was a good workout. Lauren and I both rode long yesterday and today's ride with hills was a good follow-up.
Cornelius Pass Rd, the "main drag" over the West Hills in this area, was closed today for some road work. Logie Trail, our planned route was a designated detour route. We weighed our options but decided to continue up Logie Trail. The traffic was many times the normal volume but we had no issues. We all commented on how "understanding" the drivers were. We even had a few thumbs up and a friendly "great job" as they'd go past us. We climbed 4357 ft today. Not shabby in a ~50 mile ride.
The hail in our face as we descended Logie Trail at 40 MPH added to the excitement of the day!
We finished up the day with food, drink, and visit at Imbrie Hall.
Wet weather aside, it was a good ride.
