RAIN? REALLY?

Rain for the start of the drive this morning. Forecast for the race is better--if you like 90 degrees and wind.

NEXT UP: RACE ACROSS OREGON

The always-epic Race Across Oregon starts at 0500 on Saturday, July 21, in Hood River.  Mick had hoped to get a little "heat training" on the Seattle Randonneurs' Cascade 1200, but it was mostly cold and damp.  Now that we're having some nice warm summer weather, he's lamenting that it's time to taper and avoid big, mountainous miles.  Plenty of time to organize and stock up on race supplies!
