The First Flat of the Year!Oregon is known for it's rain. And this morning, it was raining. It was raining as we dressed for the ride. It was raining as we rode down to the ride.

The weather was very good (for Oregon in January). We were in-between rain showers with warm temperatures. I saw a faint rainbow behind three old farm trucks. This seemed to be the defining moment of the ride.
