Day 2 of #ridingeverydayinNovember

Today was another nice day in NW Oregon, the temperature was in the mid 60's when I took off from Sellwood Riverside Park and today headed toward Boring. Boring might seem like a strange name for a town, but it is named after William Boring, a Union soldier who fought in the Civil War, and settled in the area when his soldier duties were done.  Better to be named for a Union soldier than Sul Ross University (Alpine TX) that was named after a Confederate Soldier labeled as a traitor.

I chose to ride east because yesterday I rode to Portland and wanted to ride farther without having to ride on roads with autos. I'm still a bit uneasy about riding with inattentive drivers. Today would be a no cars ride.
The fall colors are still out, but not quite as vibrant as a few days ago.



It was a nice day for a ride.  No real rain, only the slightest of breeze, and it reached 70F.



I did not get all the way to Boring, thinking that a 30 mile trip would be enough for this born again biking newbie.  Baby steps.
