The weather forecast was correct - wind and rain. We left Salem and in an hour and 10 minutes, we were in Woodburn because of a strong tailwind. We stopped for a quick lunch at the Artic Circle and then headed back toward Salem. The tailwind was now a strong headwind and it dropped our speed down to 15 miles per hour. Then the rain began. Now the best day for a 50 mile ride, but it was fun none the less. After the ride, I started building my bicycle. See 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. I still have work to do but I can't work on it till next Saturday.
