A few of us early risers headed out to Yamhill County this morning. We took mostly the same route as last week heading out through Perrydale and on to the hills that roll southwest of McMinnvile. Last week, we nearly needed sunblock the weather was so nice. This week the accessory of choice would have been closer to a snorkel. Such is riding in Oregon in late January. Fortunately, things dried out part way through the ride and we got this great view from the climb up to Youngberg Winery.

One upside to this route was getting to preview the course for As the Raven Flies TT.
Make sure you put this series on your calendar.  It’s about 25 miles to the start line from downtown Salem so you could easily ride out, race and ride home.
