Lance adds these notes to the Joseph Ride(by Corrie Rosetti, @ 12:00 AM) View Comments | Add Comment
Hi Corrie,
Just a few observations from our ride that you might want to include in the Joseph ride.
We had 7 riders that rode the Joseph ride for the first time. That made up almost half of the riders this year. The riders were Helen (who completed her first century ever!), Sheri, Tamara, Jim, and Emma, Mark, and Brian from the Seattle area. We had great sag support from Janet, Jim, Carla, and Carol and Sean . Many thanks goes to these folks because this year we really needed sag support due to the weather. Another record of sorts was set this year. Janet packed six bikes and seven bodies into the truck when the riders were wet and frozen. The drivers really appreciated the gas money donations form the many riders. It sure helped with the high price of gas. Thank you riders. The club president, Lance, was very glad to be proven wrong. He had wanted to cancel the ride due to rain Saturday morning and even called the riders that were going. Well, the riders rebelled and said no way. So through wind, rain, and cold they forged ahead on Saturday. Sunday dawned bright and beauful and it was a great day for riding. The food was great and plentiful. One thing you can say about Joseph, OR, you sure aren't going to starve. All in all, it was a fun experience and made you realize why we have a bike club. LANCE

Joseph, With a Little Help from my Friends.(by Corrie Rosetti, @ 12:00 AM) View Comments | Add Comment
Its nearly 10 am. Im riding south toward Anatone. The wind is in my face and worse, so is the rain which has been falling increasingly hard for the last five miles. We have about 75 miles to go for our goal, Joseph, Oregon. Im thinking seriously of turn-back options but I dont like any of them. To turn back now reduces my century to 40. I could ride out 50 and turn around, but it seems to me that 50 miles puts us somewhere near the Joseph Overlook, past Buford grade. That would mean doing the two hardest climbs back to back and in the rain.
 The first significant snow fall of the season

Late Start Three Peaks draws a crowd, finally.(by Corrie Rosetti, @ 12:00 AM) View Comments | Add Comment Helen's become a regular and it is good to have Nicky back in that role, too. Only four of us left the boat launch this morning. I confess to disappointment.
