Nothing like a group ride to motivate one to get up early to ride in the rain. Portland Velo Club does just that. This group has organized rides during the week and every Saturday morning. Each Saturday a rider can join one of 3-5 different ride groups based on average speed, all led by a Portland Velo leader. Today we started out in Hillsboro, meeting at Longbottom Coffee off Evergreen Blvd at 9 am*. Portland Velo rides rain or shine. Today we had a 41 mile 'rain' ride. A bargain to join at $25/year, the site provides maps, information for riders, 'deals' for gear, etc. I hope to snag a new Showers Pass rain coat when they are offered; my current one envelops me in a virtual sweat bath.
*10 am once we go to standard time.
