60 miles, here we come!



September 22nd @ 9am, my Dad and I will be heading out on our adventure to Ride the Rogue! We will be doing the Metric Century (60 miles) ride together.

I will be on my Trek road bike while Dad will be on "Gary", his mountain bike. This event is just a
fun ride meaning your pace and time do not matter.


Dad's going to have a harder ride than myself because of the bike difference, but that's OK. We're in it to have fun!


The event is sponsored by the Rogue River Greenway...


"The Rogue River Greenway is a gateway to our recreational corridor and described as an emerald necklace of parks, public access areas and water trails along the Rogue River linked by bicycle and pedestrian trails. The recreational corridor will span an area roughly 30 miles in length from the city of Grants Pass through the cities of Rogue River and Gold Hill and on to Central Point where it will connect to the existing 20 miles of the Bear Creek Greenway at Upton Road."

I currently have about 2-weeks to work up to the 60-miles. As funny as it sounds, I have not yet done a 60-miler with all of the training done for the Triathlons. I know I can do it though and am looking to spend a fun day outdoors with my Dad!
