Petra and Tony
100 miles, TZ=?? but at least 2-3 hours
Petra and I were the only ones that could make the Astoria-and-back Double Century this year. I had a complete computer failure on my Polar CS200 so I went without speed, cadence or HRM. We left the house about 9 am under a clear and warm sky. A very pleasant ride to Banks and then to Vernonia on the Linear Park. Lunch at the Blue House and back on Hwy 47 to Hwy 202. It was a beautiful ride with very little traffic. Past Jewel Elk refuge and then climb and nice decent into Olney where the now traditional chocolate milk was very refreshing. We were doing a victory lap around the Astoria Column by 5 pm. Leslie met us at the Comfort Suites hotel on the river front. After showers we headed to Fort George Brewpub for sausage and Vortex IPA.
Saturday morning we decided that a day of rest was going to be more beneficial to our training than 6 more hours in the saddle. So we drove back to Portland with Leslie and planned to rest and ride again on Sunday.
