Yesterday evening, I rode with the group from Scott's Cycling. We headed north along the Windsor Island Loop. This is a flat route with just one short, steep hill. Al D. likes to attack on the hill and hopefully be the first one on the top. As we approached the hill, I was in 8th place and Al was right behind me. At the foot of the hill, Al attached, but no one followed. Then, after a few yards, we gave chase. Al was second and I was fourth. I can wait till next Thursday. Again, the weather was nice all week long and is now turning to rain. I plan a short ride tomorrow because I have to go into work in the afternoon. Like last week, my long ride will be on Sunday. I think I will head south out of Salem hoping that the weather will be better in that direction.
