Rider Beware!
Jan Verrinder

In Nov. 2019 I led a club ride to the ground-breaking for the new bike/peds only bridge across I-84 in Portland.  Got Earl to pose while holding my bike! 

 

Last month I read they'd finalized the opening date, 7/31, so I put a ride on the club calendar to ride to the noon celebration.  Last month …. you remember…when we were still in the Ice Age. 

 

I'm from Texas.  I know how to train for Heat Legs, frequently stop for a drink in the shade, and slow waaay down.  I purposefully ride mid-day in the 90s.  I'm worried that others don't and won't be prepared to ride from 10:30 to about 3:00pm in the heat, so I'm sending my Rider Beware! note to everyone today.  (Thanks, Andy, for the title)

 

I'm still riding and I never ride alone - I'll have my Hop Fastpass with me to get me on the bus or MAX if I poop out. I hope you will choose what’s right for you.  Temps are predicted to be very high.
