riding a section of the RondePDX in the rain

Courtesy of the MAC coaches, we rode the southwest section of the RondePDX route last evening. Riding up and down Westwood was an experience, especially going down with wet brakes that didn't seem to work very well. I love this route. What could be better? Lots of good training terrain without ever leaving Portland. The light at the top of Council Crest was surreal. The rain had let up and we were enveloped in a veil of wispy fog, Mt. Hood visible as if viewed through an opaque lens, the sun setting behind us. http://rondepdx.com/

(Today's paper states that 'Portland has crossed the 4-inch rainfall threshold for the month'!)
