Oh, and because...

This will also double as a training journal of sorts, a la Lanarkshire of years past, here's today's stats.

Rode 30.35 miles - Casa Tres to DTC, circled around through the Waterfront & over the Steel Bridge, then out the Esplanade to Springwater. Did hit the new segment off Umatilla connecting Sellwood to the Corridor - lovely new bridge and a very workable path - much better than the old kludgey pass through the back of the tennis center.

I'd intended to ride about 20 miles; then figured I'd shoot for 30, but didn't expect to make it. Had I prepped better, I could've hit 50 today, I think. The Broadway Bridge kicked my butt on the way back, but that was my fault - didn't plan well.

I'm doing a "Pinot Pedal" or something on 4/23 - will ride to church, then after mass will head up to the departure point. It's only 18 miles or so, but with the added trip to/from Casa Tres, I should work that into a ~30 mile day as well.

Trying to figure out if this will be a century year. It's starting to feel like it, regardless of what I think. Hmm...
