REAL BIG HEADWIND!! I had a nice group ride today and got to try out my new bike, but OMG the headwinds going over the 205 and east up the Columbia Gorge were so bad. Add the semi's flying past you and you get kind of trapped in this awful wind tunnel scary stuff. I won't do that ride again...I'm a country girl, not an urban rider

BUT! The weather was so beautiful again. From one point at the top of the 5 freeway we could see Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams, and of course Mt. Hood all snow capped against a beautiful blue sky. The tailwinds coming back made up for the cold scary trek out there

30 something miles, I don't have a computer on the new bike yet.
