Saturday - rode 36 miles (in just a skosh over 2 hours!) with a friend's race team. I rarely ride that kind of pace, so it was good fun for me.
Sunday - I rode a 210K (132 mil) rando permanent with a friend. It rained for dang near the entire thing.Pavement dried up for maybe the last 20 miles. It was an absolutely beautiful route - loop out of Newberg, Oregon. Twice over the Coast Range - once over the Sourgrass Summit to Hebo, and the other from Beaver up and over the Nestucca River Road to Carlton. 6000 feet of climbing for the day.
Here's a link to the ride profile from my friend's flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lynnefitz/5726689246/?v=1 (Had to laugh at the "climb time" and "distance uphill" estimate from her computer, though. I wish! Funny that the profile is right, but the climb time and distance uphill are so very underestimated.)
