A new month

Well, I'm back from Texas. After crewing 25 events with no DNF's, I'm on a bad roll now.  Steven DNF'd about 140 miles into the 400 mile Texas RAAM Challenge.  Mechanical issues that I wasn't able to resolve with the tools available spelled doom for our rider. I was able to use duct tape to get him another 60 miles down the course after the problem occurred, but that was it.  Lesson learned, even if flying in, bring a full set of tools, and a spare bike.

I got back home from the extended Texas trip this afternoon, and by late afternoon Carol had talked me into going for a short ride.

We started from Fry's Electronics in Wilsonville and made our way mostly along paths and parks, interspersed with quiet residential streets for a whopping 16 miles.

It would be nice to start riding a bit again, but I've got a full schedule of crew duty this year.  I'm crewing almost every US ultra cycling event this year except for Natches Trace.  Who knows, that may happen yet!
