Another cloudy day here in Salem. I did 32 miles with the Salem Bicycle Club to Silverton and back. There, I met a young couple from San Diego. They were moving to Oregon and looking for a small town to live in. Silverton would be the perfect place. As we neared home, the rain began to fall. But it was not heavy and we did not get that wet. My wife bought me a B.O.B for Christmas. I use it to go to the grocery store. Today, it carried $137 worth of food for the week. Hey, we cycle and it takes a lot of food to keep us going! I do not know how much the food weighed, but the ride home was somewhat unstable.
