Ronde Van Portlandia

Saturday, Jim and I went to Portland and did the Ronde Van Portlandia. This ride was hard with 2 long climbs that required walking by most people. You can view photos of the ride at http://www.dmroth.com/ronde_08/ronde08.html . I don't think we ever had any flat roads at all. We were climbing or descending the entire 50 miles. At the end I said I would never do it again but with time to get over it I now feel I need to go back and conquer the big climbs.

It's Monday and I'm home sick. Not sure the ride had anything to do with it but I'm bummed for sure as my fitness was coming. I hope I can be over this by the Wed night ride and be ready to race on Sunday for the Icebreaker Crit. Well, wish me luck on getting better.
