We have all been training hard and enjoying some different routes. Lucinda and Dana recently rode 40+ miles together on Sauvie Island (near Portland); this is a relatively flat ride through beautiful farmland.
Lisa has been riding some familiar routes - Newport to Toledo on the Bay Road (a beautiful 25 mile ride, mostly flat but with two major hills), and Newport to Taft (south end of Lincoln City) over Otter Crest and back to Newport (about 50 miles).
Gretchen is planning on riding the 80 mile route of Reach the Beach this Saturday. You go girl! That will be quite a ride!
Nancy rode from Waldport to Yachats then up the Yachats River Road last Wednesday (about 38 miles round trip) - a truly beautiful ride on a spectacular sunny day. She also has ridden a couple of times this week from her house up to Kernville then east towards Siletz on Hwy 229, the Siletz Hwy for a distance each time of 50-60 miles. Today on that route Nancy encountered a coyote! Fortunately for Nancy, they looked at each other then the coyote decided to run back into the woods.
The Oregon weather is finally getting warmer and drier opening the door for more riding opportunities.
