Riding on the Oregon Coast

I've been home a week and have managed to do a couple of casual rides.  On Wednesday I rode with my women's group (the BOBs - Babes on Bikes) and managed to get in a beautiful 23 miles on what was the warmest November day in Oregon's history.

Today the sun was shining this morning but with predictions of rain.  I almost didn't wear my rain gear but am glad I did!  About halfway into the ride (yes, that means I was about as far from my car as I could be) it started showering.  It only lasted about 20 minutes but I got wetter in that 20 minutes than I did the entire ride across the USA (I only got drizzled on for about 45 minutes on our last day into Yorktown, VA); and the rain today was truly only a shower!  We were so VERY lucky on our trip!  Today's ride was only a little over 15 miles (I cut it short as I saw a very dark cloud heading my way), but it felt good to have a relaxing ride.
