We started from Wilsonville and made our way across the Canby Ferry.
The weather forecast predicted a 50% chance of rain but the day started dry.
That soon changed though as we went eastward from Canby. The day was windy and when the rain started falling, rather heavily, it soon got to be not much fun. When we got to Hwy 213 we stopped at a convenience store and warmed ourselves with hot chocolate. From there we pedaled to Molalla. By the time we got to Molalla the rain had stopped and luckily for us would remain dry for most of the rest of the day. We did still have a very brisk South wind to ride into though.
We climbed Bird Hill, the biggest climb of the day then got to Scotts Mills where we stopped at a small grocery store and had ....corndogs and Snickers bars!
We continued on to Silverton and then turned westward towards Keizer. At least it was a crosswind now. We stopped at a Dairy Queen in Keizer and I had some french fries to go along with my Ensure. I guess that's what you call a balanced diet!
We turned northward towards St Paul and finally got to enjoy a tail wind. We just pedaled along at 20 mph+ and smiled. When we got to St Paul we rewarded ourselves with yet more junk food!
As we left St Paul it began raining again. Not as hard as earlier, and not nearly as long. Before too long the sun was out again.
We finished up back at Wilsonville both happy with the ride today. The "nice" out weighed the "ugly" and the company was superb.
