View from the Portland Women's Forum (today!)Just got back from this week's ride. This was a great one. Being St. Patty's Day and all, we started off by all putting on Green wristbands. Each on said either "Kiss me, I'm Irish" or "Irish for a day" Sean and I got the right ones...he's Irish, and I married one :)
The ride started at the Edgefield McMennamins at 8:00 AM. We rode out along the Columbia River Hwy for a few miles and then started our climb up to the Portland Women's Forum lookout. The climb was about 4 miles, and not extremely steep, but a hill is a hill...I was glad to get to the top. We stopped for a break and most of the team was not far behind. We actually got a team photo up there today. Then we started our descent...as you know by now, I love to go down hill. The real downhill was about 5 miles, as we started to get to the waterfall area of the Scenic Columbia River Hwy, the road started to give us some rolling hills until we got to the turn around at Multnomah Falls.
On the way back, it was just a reverse of the ride out. We rode with another teammate, Susan back up the hill. She has said every week that she wanted to some day finish with us...and today she did. She rode great.
Once back at Edgefield, we all stayed for lunch and beer...it is St. Patrick's Day after all!
