January 2 at Frends – there is no I in Frends. A few of us gathered to talk about rides we really want to do again in 2026. BarbaraL, Anya, Laurie, Lori, Millan, Galib, Brenda:

Even though rain was predicted, I led a Jibe ride on New Year’s Day. The first surprise was a photojournalist from KOVR Channel 13 was at the meet-up location at Peregrine Park. He interviewed me and Jim. There was a clip on the evening news!

Eight of us started out but a low battery and a flat tire shortly into the ride caused two people to drop out early. We had rain at the beginning and end but a good dry middle section.

My rain cape worked really well. 34 miles. A good start to a new year.
