Somewhere the PDX and Durham, I was able to get out for a nice four hour ride yesterday, too! Covered 35 miles (you do the math) but able to get 3,600 ft of elevation in the process. Only took about three five-minute stops along the way, which for me is pretty amazing! This was in preparation for next week's Rough Rider ride in Santa Monica mountains. Don't forget that's coming up!!!

I combined them to make a really nice loop. Maybe sometime this Spring???? Downside was that I crashed at around mile 33. Slipped out the front end going 'round a turn in the wild grasses. My whole right side is kinda' sore today. Also my neck hurts a bit. Not sure if that's from the crash or just from doing more exertion than I normally do Upside is I found a cool thrown away bike to rescue! 24" German/Austrian/Dutch bike with Sachs hub and full fenders, wiring etc. Well, at least it did before it was totally and completely thrashed by hooligans. A bit of a project. Hopefully I can find the shifter parts as the rest is pretty straightforward. Good stuff! On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 7:36 AM, Mike <mjawn...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Sounds nice.
