I like to ride my bicycle - for long distances. I have earned the California Triple Crown and finished the Furnace Creek 508. My goals include qualifying for RAAM and ...(read the blog to find out).

On Saturday, I did a long ride - 110 miles. I rode to Champoeg State Park and joined my wife for the Blueberry Ride (http://www.blueberryrides.com/). We did fifty miles on our tandem and then I rode back home (and into the wind for 33 miles). It was another very wet day. This was made worst by the fact that I had to remove the tandem's front fender as the IRC Tandem tires are much larger than the tires I removed. As such, my feet got very wet. Oh well. I rode my rain/touring bike (Trek520) up to the park. With the strong tail wind from the south, my pace was very good - over 19 mph.
