Woke up to the sound of rain. But by the time the ride started, the rain had stopped leaving wet roads.

We stopped at a coffee shop in Mt. Angel for a quick lunch before returning to Salem. While Rod had one flat, I had two. The second was on the way in and I kept filling the tie with CO2. It got me home without stopping to fix the flat! But it stills needs to be fixed.
