It was a long day. Up at 4:30AM Wednesday for the drive down to meet the Gugieman in Troutdale.
Back home today (Thursday) at 3:30PM.
Mark led me out n back along the Historic Columbia River Gorge scenic byway.
That road is a real treat. Carved into the Basalt rock that forms the walls of the Gorge we zoomed thru the twisty downhill sections, the road flowing so nicely through the landscape.

We stopped for a socially distant selfie at Multnomah Falls because, well, I had never been here before!

It started to get pretty warm for the climb back out of the gorge

There were some fantastic views

After cooling off in the river it was late afternoon by the time we packed up for the drive down to Sisters to our camp site arriving well into the evening.
Forest Fires were burning North of where we were camped making for a colorful but smelly sunset.
Our late arrival in Sisters by Matthew Pendergast, on Flickr
We got a short nap before heading up to Mckenzie Pass. We pretty much had the road to ourselves. One car passed us the entire time we were out and that was early on our ride up.
I found myself wanting to compare experiences - This one was different than my full moon ride last month at Rainier:
I had Mark’s company this time, we rode quietly along side by side pretty much taking the entire road since there was no traffic. I felt less alone and secure from any imaginary childhood ‘fears of the dark’ that can creep me out when I’m alone
There were also some pretty big wildfires burning a few miles north of where we were so there was alot of smoke and haze. You could only see the outline of some of the Volcanos on either side of the pass and while the clear sky at Rainier impressed me because of the colors of the night sky and mountain illuminated by the moon. Here at McKenzie, everything was kind of a muted monochromatic view. Smoke layers hung low lying valleys and hollows while high overhead the sky was covered in a thin opaque haze. There was no color up here, it was like we were riding in an old black and white TV movie. In the Lava Field on the pass, most of the trees are dead silver snags sticking out of the rock. Very eerie looking with the shadow of the Black Crater Volcano behind it. The smoke irritated your eyes and you couldn’t escape the smell. The impression it left me with was that we were riding through the Desolation of Smaug on the way up to the Lonely Mountain in the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien…
The descent back down to our campsite was SO FUN! We turned our lights back on and descended at a pretty good clip - as fast was we dared given our situation. Those generator driven lights put out some good candlepower at 30MPH…
My little automatic camera doesn’t take good night photos, sorry. Here’s all you get:

Great photos everyone. I haven't been riding much lately due to work overload and smokey air. Consequently, I haven't checked this thread much recently. Been missing out on some inspiring photos.
JJScaliger Love those shoes.
gugie and northbend That looks like a fun adventure up the Columbia River Gorge--a special (though sometimes windy!) place. I've been to the stairs a few times, but only by car.
I went for my first ride in a couple weeks. I only rode about 80 miles total the entire month of August.
Today I went for one of my regular hilly loops into the Berkeley hills. About 20 miles and ~2,000' of climbing.
I was glad to see the farmer's market is back in business.
I've started wearing masks on my rides while I'm in more populated areas, though I admit I take it off once I get onto the backroads. This one was a gift from the PTA.
I know the use of headphones is sometimes frowned upon. In my defense, I like to listen to podcasts in one ear at a low conversational volume--quiet enough to still hear the traffic. On today's ride, I listened to an episode of the "Literature and History" podcast (this episode was on part of Homer's Illiad). Highly recommended if you enjoy ancient literature and history.

Not from some abstract fear of the unknown, but from the very real issue of people having dogs loose on their property. Sure enough, about half way through my ride I hear barking and the sound of running paws getting closer - thankfully there was a fence or the dog was just slow.
I was hoping the sky would be a bit brighter and I could ride without lights, but moonrise wasn't until about 8:30 and I didn't want to be out really late.

I went out for a night ride last night by myself and could not shake my anxiety about what I could not see.

The price you have to pay if you want a moonlight ride is the willingness to stay out late :-)
In my neck of the woods, there's a small chance of encountering bears, cougars, deer and elk and that is constantly on my mind.
It is intensified if I'm alone. It is not an abstract fear but once it gets a hold of you, it can snowball into something that is abstract.
Like when you would get scared as a kid and run away and the faster you run the more scared you got...
When I say riding without lights I mean the headlight only. The tail light stays on and I wear a reflective sash.

Nothing beats it, 0600 on the way to work.
Folks rattle past this sitting in their tin can cars, spewing toxic gas, oblivious to the beauty. Your bicycle is really is the only way to travel.

Nice, brings back commuter memories. I'd get a full moon setting on a calm San Pablo bay at 4:30 am. Don't miss work, but miss the carfree morning rides.

Regarding steel erection, when I was an editor at a builder's magazine called The Journal of Light Construction, I was once assigned to write an article about residential light-gauge steel framing. While working away one afternoon, I entered the search term "steel stud" into google, then left my office for a little while. When I came back, I stood there stunned at the stuff filling my screen. Man! Talk about not safe for work.... It took me a few minutes to figure out what had happened.

Hell Gate is my absolutely favourite bridge. Thanks for photographing it. Only the Quebec cantilever across the St. Lawrence River comes close.

No middle/of-the-night adventure, no pre-dawn commute, just a dainty Super Course shakedown ride around Portland.
Grand Army of the Republic cemetery, feels like the middle-of-nowhere.
This lovely Tread Alert flashed the whole time! Gonna hafta turn it off with a Sharpie.
Tillicum Crossing
Great college bike, but no college.
Set a personal best on the climb home, so she’s no slouch! Then the front der cable slipped going for the big ring at the top of the hill; seems to be a theme for me with vintage fronts.

Took the Merckx Century out today with a new set of cranks. Sugino XD compact 50-34. I have a few bikes 8 and 10 speed with standard cranks and wanted to expand my fleet of bikes that I’m able to use on the long, really hilly rides. Rode up Afton Mountain on the shoulder of the Blue Ridge, over to Batesville. Really nice weather today with sunshine and the jungle humidity gone, poof!, just like that. Hopefully it stays away. 31 miles, 3200 feet climbing.
Mountain Road in Afton, Blue Ridge is behind me. Next pic taken from the hills in the distance.
Ennis Mountain Road with Blue Ridge in distance. Little notch to the right is Rockfish Gap with I-64 passing through.

Back home
After a year of not riding my beloved Mercian Vincitore fixed-gear, I set it back up the way it had been for years - 28 mm tires, SKS fenders, 16 and 18T fixed cogs. This morning I set out to put ol' Julius through his paces. I hadn't ridden Klugh Road past Flatwood in more than a decade and I forgot just how abrupt a drop-off there is. According to Strava I hit 34.9 mph spinning a 70-in gear, so what, north of 170 rpm? Then I turned onto Blue Jay and took the following pix before pausing in the central business district of bustling Hodges, SC long enough to take the obligatory bike picture before returning home with 23 miles under my belt. It was a good start to the day!

Same bike as yesterday but going through Hodges first and taking Klugh Road through to where it becomes Mill, then riding an old Greenwood Cycling Club route until it was time to take Deadfall back home with 26.2 miles for the day. BecauseI was alone I photographed the county limit sign rather than sprinted for it ...

Coventry RI
A gorgeous day in RI, 75 degrees, low humidity I had to get out this morning. Got in 41 miles and home in time for baseball.
Corn. I pass it all the time and never stop for a picture
Read School house Coventry 1831
Old Summit Baptist church 1862
perspective
I turned around at Summit an old village in Western Coventry. I think this church maybe for sale. Coventry should buy it and make it a museum or something. The new church is about half a mile away, not as photogenic.

38 miles on my '64 Legnano, down PCH towards Malibu turnaround at Neptune's Net, which was closed, then up the coast to Hueneme Lighthouse. Grest coastal ride to escape the inland heat. Mid 80s with a nice breeze at the coast. When I hot home, my phond said 115°. So glad we went early.
Looking south towards Malibu.
My '64 Legnano Roma, had since new.

38 miles on my '64 Legnano, down PCH towards Malibu, turnaround at Neptune's Net, which was closed, then up the coast to Hueneme Lighthouse. Great coastal ride to escape the inland heat. Mid 80s with a nice breeze at the coast. When I got home, my phone said 115°. So glad we went early.
Looking south towards Malibu.
My '64 Legnano Roma, had since new.
Hueneme Lighthouse.
Missle Park, Hueneme Naval Base
F14 at the Missle Park.
It was "only" 115.

Some great pictures, there!
I just did a quick 15 miles at sunrise this morning (no pictures). Later, when the announcer was reading the weather on the radio, she said, "If you're planning on doing something outside today... you probably should have done it already."
We've nearly doubled our previous record of "most days at or above 110°" this year. I think today is number 53.
