I chose not to ride in the rain today. Some of the group did, and others drove to The Dalles and rode on wet roads, but dry skies. I drove home.
As soon as I left the Gorge, the rain stopped. From Troutdale to almost home, it was dry. But as soon as I left the freeway and headed toward my house, it started to rain. So I climbed on the trainer and rode it for two hours. I watched the 2004 Liege – Bastogne – Liege and whenever there was a hill, I shifted down and worked hard, just as if I was climbing the same hill.
Of course there were small differences, they were must faster than I, and my bike was older then theirs. None the less, I had lots of fun.
