End of summer ride post

Yes, we have been riding but due to several little interruptions in life, no time to post.  Had to move my Mom to foster care, then fly to LA to help finish up our daughter's move to Westwood.  Now she is only 10 minutes from her work at Ogilvy.

Labor Day we took a day off from the bikes and rafted the White Salmon.

Husum Falls

Some Portland Velo rides stuck in-between.

A couple of MAC rides with new coach Craig Schommer.

We rode the Bridges to Breakers century ride from Portland to Gearhart, a fundraiser for the Harrington Foundation.  Joey was supposed to be there, but works at Fox Sports on the weekends, so was unable to make the finish in time.  Great ride, great route.

Craig rode in the Blind Date Cyclocross a couple of Wednesday's ago.  One good fall, some bruised ribs and we're reminded how fun cyclocross is!

Also discovered great hikes in and around the Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge area.

Dog Mountain Sept. 30

Lookout Mountain Oct. 7
We started on Highway 35 between milepost 68-69
5 miles up, 2960 feet of gain

Now, if this crazy summer weather holds, we hope to hike Paradise from Zigzag and get in a couple of rides over the weekend.
