Earlier in the week weather forecasts were calling for heavy rain all weekend, so I planned to sleep in and finish re-building my Serotta sometime in the afternoon. When I got up, it wasn't raining and the updated weather forecast said it probably wouldn't. Woo hoo! Luckily, I didn't have much left to do on the Serotta, just brake cables and bar tape. I finished it up and went for a roll.
I followed a familiar route down Scholls Ferry Road, but decided to try an offshoot I hadn't ridden before. Typically I take Tile Flat Road, which lives up to its name. Today, since I was riding with polka dots, it seemed like a good day to try out Clark Hill Road. It does, in fact, have a hill -- good thing I installed a triple. Here's my freshly rebuilt bike at the turn off for Clark Hill Road.
Oregon is covered with evergreens. That probably explains my fondness for deciduous trees like those I grew up around in Maryland.
