SBC Wednesday Night Ride

At this time of year in Oregon, it can rain at any time.  Cloud cover is constant.  Wet roads are common.  Riding with rain gear is mandatory.

So, Joanne and I headed out to lead our Salem Bicycle Club ride expecting to get wet, but luck was with us and we enjoyed an easy, dry ride.  Joanne choose a route to the east and TJ and Jean joined us as we rode through the night.  I was feeling good on my Litespeed Appalachian and I found myself out in front, sometimes too far as this is supposed to be a group ride.

I wore what is becoming my Fall weather usual – three layers, tights and my winter shoes. My blue jacket kept me warm but not hot. I never did ride hard, so I did not build up much body heat.
