Comments: Out to Silverton via Silverton Rd (decent asphalt shoulder, but noisy). Back via Cascade Hwy and Sunnyview Road (no shoulder, but no traffic either). Broke 1100 lifetime miles with this ride. Go me! Only 25 miles to go to meet BikeJournal.com V-Day 400 Challenge... Wildlife: chickadees, deer. Non-wildlife of note: bison.
84.15 miles for the week.

Comments: A surprisingly nice ride for such rainy weather. This ride put me over my V-Day 400 challenge and also marked a new personal best for two-day mileage. It felt very good.

Kathleen rode with me, so I was able to get some observations from her. Namely, the TailSok needs retensioning, as it is flapping. Shortening the boom an inch or so two days ago seems to have relieved any incipient Achilles tendonitis -- although the lower end of my quads complained a bit.

It was nice to have a riding partner. Snack at the world's largest black cottonwood tree (Willamette Mission State Park). Were passed by two DF riders on Spring Valley Rd who apparently turned around at Hopewell Rd and came back to pass us going the other way a short time later.

Wildlife spotted: kestrel, falcon, redtail hawk, killdeer, redwing blackbird (heard), mourning dove, rabbit, frogs (heard).

Non-wildlife: miniature pony (OMGP0N1ES!)
Weather Conditions: Rain until Lincoln, then mostly cloudy with some sunbreaks for the rest of the ride. South- to southwest winds that varied from calm to about 10 mph, resulting in light tailwinds on the outbound leg and sporadic winds from the front-right quarter on the return leg.

Comments: Out to the Polk County Courthouse in Dallas and back. The theme for this ride was Things Falling Off.... Lights (once) and fender mounts (twice).

First ride after completely reinstalling TailSok. I certainly had a higher average speed, but I also pushed myself harder. Data inconclusive.

Also moved the grips forward 4 inches. Much more comfortable. Haven't tested in a sled ride yet, though....
105.28 miles for the week.
Weather Conditions: Mostly cloudy for the first half, then racing to beat the rain home (I made it). 5-10 mph headwind on way out, tailwind coming home.

Comments: To campus and back, then out Pringle/Battle Creek to Kuebler, north to Cordon Road and out to Portland Road, then back on Portland Road to Silverton/17th and home. Short rolling hills out to Kuebler, then basically flat. Was in a grumpy mood to start, but about halfway through got in the zone and just cruised with an idiot grin on my face.

Have begun calculating calories as "drafting" due to fairing on recumbent trike.
Weather Conditions: Overcast, occasional light sprinkles. South wind 18-23, gusting to 29 mph, providing a nasty headwind at beginning and end, but a delicious tailwind for most of the ride.

Comments: Nice ride with a few moderate climbs. I think the TailSok gave me a boost with the steady crosswinds on the way home. Still wheezing, but getting better. Felt great after the ride (but some of that is probably prednisone...). Two wardrobe changes en route, but never got too cold or too hot. Yea!
Weather Conditions: First hour was partly sunny. Rest of the ride was overcast and drizzly. South wind 15-25 mph, with gusts of 30+. Wind chill of 32 for the return leg (ignoring bike speed).
