Comments: First ride with Tailsok (many thanks, TerraCycle, for fabulous customer service!).

Was in Portland for the River City Bluegrass Festival but was sick and felt awful. I had a break in my fever and felt great shortly after noon, plus there was a break in the rain, so I decided to go for a ride.

Great ride! Met Jim Werner on the trail near Gresham and chatted for awhile.

Wildlife spotted: nutria, robins, bluejays.
Weather Conditions: Partly cloudy, little or no wind. Wet in places from several days of rain.

Comments: First ride with Sigma EVO lights.

Just before the summit, there was a 100-foot patch of ice that I had to walk -- just too slippery. Had to use brakes quite a bit on the sled ride portion due to concerns about ice on the road. Lots of gravel on the road, too.

Brake cables tried to freeze (literally) a couple of times near the summit.
Weather Conditions: Cold -- 28-30 degrees for much of the ride! No wind.

Comments: Thermometer ride.
My first metric century!

Struggled with temperature management, especially in the second half of the ride. Turns out I was getting sick and spiking fevers, but didn't know that at the time.

Had trouble keeping pace with two riding partners (on uprights, and quite fit), except on the downhill and true flats.

Jason had to bail out due to time at Hopewell Road. Mark stayed with me until just a few miles past Amity when he headed home to beat darkness (didn't have good lights).

Wildlife spotted: Canada geese, deer, redtail hawks, falcons, great blue herons.
Weather Conditions: Mostly cloudy. Little to no wind.

Comments: Thermometer ride
My second metric century. First real ride with new big chainring (62T). Jury is still out, but it was pretty cool to not spin out on most downhills on this ride. Also first ride with Arkel Tailrider. Two thumbs up!

Had headwinds from Lincoln to Erratic Rock. Some tailwinds on return leg. Beautiful day. Could see Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Hood, and Mt. St. Helens all at the same time at one point. Saw short rainbow directly overhead under a small cloud at one point (advantage of a trike: it's easy to look up!). Stunning sunset -- quiet, flight of geese, lovely colors.

Wildlife spotted: deer, falcons, hawks, killdeer, robins, Canada geese
Weekly average up to this point is 68.08 miles (averaged due to bulk miles).
Weather Conditions: Partly sunny. Wind from NNW at 5-10 mph.
