Gorge Falls and Larch Mountain

There is a lot of snow in the mountains. Just like Saturday, today's ride had to be altered due to snow.

Mt. Adams Bike DeTour

We've been meaning to do this ride for three years now. And boy are we glad we finally did. This was one awesome ride. Certainly the best of the year, and among the all-time bests in our three years of riding centuries.

Bear Creek Greenway

The day after our biggest climbing ride of the year (so far) we decided to do a relatively flat ride. The weather in Central Point was 80s and sunny. How can you not go on a ride when it is that nice?

Tour de Fronds

The forecasts we looked at (Weatherbug, Weather Channel, local TV, KGW, Fox 12) all were in general agreement: chance of rain in the Glendale area. We had already signed up though, so we went for it and hoped for the best.

Strawberry Century

We rode this century last year and the year before, and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. So we came back for more Strawberry Century. This time we brought Mike Ward with us, Amy's spin class instructor.

Cherry of a Ride

What a day! What a ride! We intended to do this ride back when they put it on in April but chickened out due to the rainy forecast. Based on how much I struggled in June I'm thinking it was probably a good thing we didn't do it in April.
