Another Boring Ride

It was going to be a warm day, expected to be in the low 90's. There was a high overcast that promised to moderate that a bit. I got on the fixed gear bike in the early afternoon with plans to ride from Sellwood to Boring and back.  As I was preparing to ride, Carol called and asked if I wanted to go for a ride.  I pedaled around the parking lot a bit while I waited for her to arrive.  While doing that I was approached by a local television reporter who interviewed me about the new Sellwood Bridge, and the impending removal of the old bridge.

Carol arrived, then also was interviewed.  Who knew that we were bridge experts!

I ended up with just over a mile of pre ride before starting out with Carol.

It was an uneventful ride, we just pedaled along.

We got to Boring and struck up a conversation with two Sorella Forte members.  They were lounging on the grass taking a break during a ride from Sellwood out to the Cascade foothills and back.  These ladies were no slouches!

Carol and I turned around and pedaled back toward Sellwood.  Carol has not been riding much lately and was lagging a bit. She had to be back to her car no later than 4:30 to make it to work on time,  so I kept the pressure up.

The wild flowers were out in full force.  Wild peas, vetch, and especially the foxglove were especially showy today.

We got back to Sellwood Riverfront Park at 4:11, Perfect!
