16-miles on Sauvie Island

We did a longer ride this week. 16 miles out at Sauvie Island. For those who don't know, Sauvie Island is a great little oasis just west of the city. Huge farms and boating access on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. The Island was full of bikers and birders today. It was another cold ride, 28 degrees when we left the house. The ride was just about an hour and the distance gave us an opportunity to work up a sweat and really get used to our bikes again.

I really do enjoy riding. It's such a peaceful activity. Even when you are riding with 5, 10 even 15 other people. You have to rely on yourself and be able to anticipate the actions of others.

Hmm...skills that also help in the real world.
