cycle cross?

Not cycle cross but a rather wet 40 mile ride with Portland Velo.  I'm still cleaning equipment.

snow day

Thompson at Skyline.  

We went out to Hillsboro to ride with Velo this morning.  It was 27 degrees with ice on the road and bike lanes so we headed back into town to Upper Echelon to use the rollers.  The sky cleared and we decided to ride outside.  Heading up 53rd to Skyline it started snowing!  Only in Portland on January 8th can you ride in sun, ice, snow and rain.

Winter Sun

Portland Velo had their annual New Year ride yesterday.  Sunny, 27 degrees F; cold hands and feet with the windchill!  But we are riding!  Today was another cold, sunny day.

Clapshaw Hill

Rode with Portland Velo yesterday up near the foothills of the coast range.  I got in 127 miles this week and it's December!

Christmas riding

Between a couple of Portland monsoons (1.43 inches of rain one day, then 1.15 the next), we got a short ride in before it started pouring again.  58 degrees ain't bad for December 12th.

Dec. 6th ski-biking

 We've recently had a strong east wind out of the Columbia gorge.  That keeps the temps low, but the sky clear.  Craig and I took a short turn through the west hills and up 53rd yesterday.

Looks like a scene out of Blair Witch Project

I recently returned from Klamath Falls.  I couldn't live there.  I couldn't ride and couldn't even run!
