Number Six
Another day, another run at the Estacada 100; this one with my friends Kevin and Lynne. It took 4h39, mainly because we were moving at a more sedate pace than my usual breakneck run up to the summit of Springwater Road, and I didn’t actually put on the gas until we reached Estacada and I realized it was already noon (at which point I made hasty excuses and attempted to go into hyperdrive for the 31 miles back to Sellwood (I sorta went into hyperdrive; I averaged about 18mph down to Oregon City, then was slowed down by the bumps and traffic controls between there and Sellwood. ~16mph total for Estacada->Sellwood) to get back into town in time to retrieve Silas from Llewellyn. I actually made it into town fast enough to deposit the project bike at home, pull out the trek and lug Silas’s ten-ton Trek mountain bike over to Llewellyn so he could ride it home (I’m buying a teeny 650c bicycle – to be rebuilt as a 26" fast road bike – and once I get it built up I’ll be able to return the ten-ton-trek to the Sellwood Cycle Repair consignment merry go round. But until that’s done, he’s stuck with the ten-ton-trek :-( ))
