Southerly Ladies March Ride


 

Six of us enjoyed a gorgeous sunny Spring day together.  

We rode on the Trolley Trail for a couple of miles, then peeled over to Aldercrest.  At Clackamas Park, we experimented riding on bumpy grass and gravel paths before taking our rest break.  Everyone got a spoke card and help installing it.  

Everyone shared their cycling goals and dreams.  A couple of riders are planning to ride Seattle to Portland, and some are planning to try their first bike camping trip this year.

Once we reached the Crossing Park bridge over the Clackamas River, we decided together that we should go see what's at the top of the giant hill in Oregon City.  It took us around twenty minutes to the top, (one rider even got a bloody nose!) and only about 2 minutes to get back down.

Finally, at our final resting place at my favorite cemetery, we said our goodbyes.
