Last Saturday (3/20) was the Oregon Randonneurs (and my) first brevet of 2010.

The "Birkie" (Forest Grove to Birkenfeld and back) is an ORR tradition, and this year was the first that anyone could remember that had clear (and dry!) weather all day. The day started out downright chilly: there were reports of frost and ice in the first third of the ride, but I personally didn't notice any. By the finish, temps were in the mid to upper 60s (f). All in all, quite a nice day for a ride. I finished in my usual mid-pack spot, despite having had a lot of trouble lately with sore legs and, ahem, "intestinal issues".

Up next: the ORR "3 Capes" 300k on April 3.
