Out on the road


Nothing like a wet and cold ride to get the blood moving a bit faster. OB1-2OLD and I hit the road today for a 2+ hours ride of 32+ miles. It was a fast first hour and then a slower, more deliberate second hour. We rode from Newberg to Woodburn and back again. Rolling hills, tree farms, hops hangers, rivers, and countryside with few cars. Once the legs got warmed it, it was a good ride. It took some time to get the body feeling good but it when it did, it was like riding a bike.

This first week in the house has been fun. Christine has done most of the work unpacking everything and putting it in order. I come home and have a few projects to complete. Give us another week or so and we will be ready for visitors. To our friends and family, feel free to stop by and spend some time with us. It is good to be here. Time to hang with the family and get ready for Solvang. With 4K+ worth of climbing, I'd better hit them hills.
About the picture, it is from a coffee shop here in Portland. No cars allowed, bikes only. Check out the special in the window...
