Got to ride on some new roads today in California. Headed from Fairfield to Napa with some good climbing both ways. It was nice to get out early and the roads were fairly quiet. Trying to take advantage of traveling for work to see some new country on the bike.

Sneaking in time for a quick ride out to Boring and back. The next few weeks rides are going to be hard to fit in. I will take them when I can.

Big changes have arrived. Starting a new job this week has limited the time I can be on the bike. This past week I spent in Las Vegas, so I was running for four days instead of on the bike. I know my fitness level is good now and not riding every day I won't loose that much as long as I can supplement in running.
Today was a good day of 55 miles with a couple shorter, steeper climbs thrown in. The rain started as we headed out and lasted for about an hour. Once the rain let up, we warmed up a bit. After a couple punctures and some good climbs we made it back home.

A little muddy out there today. #teamnuun #stayhydrated #teamvelorunners #raam2016

Nice to get in 100 miles today. Rode an easy loop with Athletes Lounge group around Sauvie Island, then went on to Rocky Point. Tried to push the climb but not kill myself since it was only half way through the ride. Rode 18:52 but I was hoping to ride closer to 18:30. Fastest time I have ever ridden up it so no complaints.

After a tough hill session yesterday, it was nice to have an easy spin out on the Springwater Trail for about 34 miles. Temps in the mid 60s and a light breeze made for a great recovery ride. I hope to get back to some climbing tomorrow.

A good day of 8 climbing repeats on NW 53rd Dr. with recovery down Thompson & Cornell. I thought about trying to get in 10 repeats but legs were getting tired by the 8th rep. Hopefully I will be able to keep getting in these climbing workouts in for a little longer, but starting a new job on next Monday and then moving to Missouri soon will change my riding habits.

Clear skies, light winds and a few climbs in 70+ miles made for a great February ride. Heading out east toward Boring from the Springwater Trail then dropping down to Barton. There we headed back to Oregon City and back home with a burrito stop at Aspirsa to end the day.
