The Monkeys are planning to ride this year's 20th Anniversary Race Across Oregon.  This year the route is actually across Oregon, beginning in Ontario, OR (on the border with Idaho) and finishing in Newport, OR (on the coast).  More miles @621'ish, but quite a bit less climbing at just under 33k.  Sounds like a good trade!

I started my ride on Saturday at 7pm with the intent to ride as much as I could stand on Saturday, recover on Sunday, then finish the ride on Tuesday or Thursday (my standard riding days). All kitted out on Saturday Saturday was pretty uneventful.  Even watching movies on the iPad, riding for 3+ hours on the trainer is BORING.  By the end of the ride my knees and feet were both fairly sore,...
