I had a great ride today. Beautiful weather and views.

DH and I rode together for 2 hours, up the Hood River Valley towards Mt Hood. We meandered amongst the orchards with their trees just now starting to bud. The "out" part was almost entirely uphill, so we blasted the "back" bit.

I was commited to doing 4 hours for IM training so I went out again, this time up the valley towards Mt Adams. Rolling farmland and pine trees. I climbed for about 15 miles, dropped in on a friend for a moment and came back down. All in all a 4:05 day for me.

I love spring.
