I returned today from the Salem Bicycle Club's Florence Overnight Ride. We had a great time and the weather could not have been better. Keith and Pat Lippy do this ride every year, and this year they made it a SBC club ride. We started at the Eugene Airport and took quiet HWY 36 to Florence. On Sunday, we returned using the same route (70 miles each way). Training Update: This week I rode just 165 miles which was a bit short of my goal of 180 miles. In addition to Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, I intended to ride both Monday and Thursday. However, I took Monday off as a rest day, and family business prevented me from riding on Thursday. None the less, I feel I am still on track for the Death Valley Double. Next week's goal is 190 miles with 110 of it on Saturday. I have not decided what rout to take on Saturday. Perhaps I will head down toward Marcola.
