Many brevets and permanents this year, not so many big organized rides - in many cases I had to choose between keeping the R-12 streak going and the big organized rides. For that matter, I didn't participate in as many Portland Velo rides, for the very same reason - off racking up longer mileage rides instead.
A few organized rides:
Worst Day of the Year (from my house, which means climbing the West Hills two extra times)
Reach the Beach (with a subsequent Unreach the next day)
RSVP
Chico Wildflower Century (road trip!)
The Livestrong Ride (riding course marshal)
Hottest ride:
The Team Bag Balm ride in June, the day before the Livestrong Ride
Coldest ride:
Scio Covered Bridges Perm - temp never got above 37 F all day
Wettest ride:
a tossup between the SIR 200km brevet in March, the Bingen Bikenfest in October and the Prairies and Wetlands perm in November.

This is cool, Lynne. And I was there for some of those rides (particularly the wet ones). I may have to do a similar post.
:) B.
you were there for the cold one, too!
Lynne, you and Cecil Anne inspire me! I'll have to get out and ride more if for no other reason than I don't want to explain why "I was outcycled by a couple of girls"! ;-)
best wishes in the new year!
Kevin
Are you doing the 2009 RSVP, Lynne?
Hi Fred! I'm registered! See you there, on a bike this time?
Yes, indeedy!
I plan to be riding, not driving.
Thanks, again, for your blog.
