Missed the whole week with a bad back. Easy ride today to see how it would go. Ran into Cindy Powell who's husband Tom used to be a football coach at SOU. She told me about surfing at Crescent City.

Easy pace but it was still a struggle for me. Warmer but not terrible. Bike path is closed from dog park to Valley View to repair a bridge.

Had an ambitious ride planned but had no energy for it. Came straight down Greensprings instead of doing a loop.

Leaving a few minutes earlier each week. Days are getting shorter. Dan and Dan left before we did and we saw them as they were coming down.

Dan D. rode with us to Talent. Clockwise loop. My legs felt pretty good. Still not too hot.

An in the valley century in August! Never got much over 80. David left Jacksonville at 6, meet Andy and I at 7:30 - out to Buckhorn and back - met Dan at 9 - sam route as last week to Gold Hill then on to Valley of the Rogue park - back Old Stage to Jacks

Another pleasant after work ride.

Bike Path - South Stage - Griffin - Pioneer - Carpenter - and home. Hot to start but cooled off nicely.

Wandered a bit through west Medford to Ross lane - Hanley road - Beall Ln. - Grant Rd. - Scenic Ave. - Tolo Rd. - Blackwell Rd. to Gold Hill - Old Stage to Jacksonville and back. Cloudy and cool in the morning - sunny after noon. Easy pace the whole way.

and on to Jackson Kimball park which is the headwaters of the Wood river. Not too hot. There was almost alwas a cool breeze.
