Saturday Century - A Sunny One!Miles: 95.80 February Miles: 449.44 Year to Date: 758.42 All week long the weather forecast has been calling for nice weather for Saturday - "Partly Sunny". Well, there was just a bit of fog in the morning, but it soon burned off and what a glorious day! We had clear (yes clear) blue skies and the afternoon warmed up to the high 60°s. This ride had several firsts for the year... 1) The ride of the year that I left the house with just a wind breaker; I did not wear my rain jacket nor my friged weather jacket. 2) The first ride of the year without my booties. 3) The first ride of the year that we heard frogs croaking. 4) The first ride of the year that we saw daffodils breaking ground. Sal joined Joanne and I as we rode to Philomath. We took Kings Valley Highway south and Corvallis Road back home.
