26 Miles on the East Side

Today's ride was on the east side of Portland. Sean and I were able to ride down to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) from our house and meet the group. We started with a quick clinic about how to change a tire, then we were off...down the Springwater corridor along the Willamette River. We were cruising, averaging about 20 mph and having a great time.

Then we travelled off the bike path for about a mile until we found the new section of the trail...at the same time, the wind found us. It slowed us waaaaay down. We struggled for about 7 miles until our turnaround point.

Funny, with the wind at your back, everything seems easier.
