With the recent heat wave in Portland, it was so nice to arrive at the cabin on Friday night to a nice cool evening on the deck with no mosquitos. It was pretty much paradise. As was the weekend of riding. We decided to do a pre-RAMHOOD (ride around Mt. Hood) on saturday. A 87 mile road ride with 8500 feet of climbing. It was amazing weather, great views, good friends and just plain fun. A bit of suffering of course, but a great day on the bike.
Tim fording the creek. We went the 'old' way and the creek was crossable.
Heading into the gravel section on Lolo Pass. Still smiling.
The lone puncture of the day. But still smiling. Darn rocks.
One of my favorite views of Mt. Hood.
Rest stop in Rhodie.
My best guy. Team RCB!
Erin chillin' on the deck. Amazing that in 2 weeks she will be a mom! Don't worry, she didn't ride this year, just came up for the cool evening on the deck.Then to top off the weekend, we had to play in the dirt. Although 15-mile was not clear, it was still a variable amount of suffering and some sweet singletrack without trees down. Good attitudes make any ride good. But the final descent made you forget about the misery and the climbing over trees.
Me, Dave, Tim & John
