Vernonia - Astoria - Vernonia

My friend Kevin “Dessert Coyote” Van Dyke scheduled a long ride. The weather forecast was for rain. I was not disappointed. What was unexpected was the sun in Astoria and the hail in the Coast Range.

I rode my Redmond Conquest Pro Ti rain bike, a nice solid ride. Joining Kevin and myself was Luke who was the strongest one of us. I Hare to work hard to stay on his wheel. I had a good training ride and I had a chance to work on my mental toughness with some of the weather I had to ride in.
