Wolfe Creek

It is hard to see, but Doug is riding on the road in this picture.



Bicycling magazine ranking the Wolfe Creek ride as the number 1 ride in Oregon. It is absolutely beautiful. The pictures I took will not do it justice. Doug is out helping Alissa move to Portland, so he stopped by for a few days. We got to go ride Wolfe Creek on Saturday. It is a 65 mile loop with 35 miles of it on a paved logger road. We had maybe saw 2 cars for that section. It has some pretty good climbs, but the worst part is going down. It looks like it is going down, but you are actually going up. It is a weird feeling to look down and see that you are going 16 when you think you should be flying down the hill. Doug got a little dehydrated (an unheard of 95 degrees today) on this section, but we stopped at a small gas station to get a drink and were off into the head wind. I love the wind. It just slows everything down and makes it so much more enjoyable. All in all it was a beautiful day out on the bike.
