"If bicycle saddles contribute to erectile dysfunction, then The Netherlands would be empty" -Thorsten Schaette of KHS Bicycle Parts Two rides in the last two days. Yesterday, I rode with the Scott's Cycling group north into and beyond Keizer. We started at 6:00 pm when it was still light, but finished at 7:30 pm in the darkness. This was a quick paced ride and I finished with 17.7 mph average for 25 miles. In the race to the top of Ravena hill, I was fourth, my best ever! Tonight, I did 30 minutes on the stair step machines and then 28 miles at a more reasonable pace. I thinking of going back to McKenzie Pass this weekend, but it depends on the weather. Right now, the forecast is for showers. But this was the forecast for last weekend and it was dry until after the ride. We shall see if this weekend is the same.
