Twenty-eight: Watermelon double

I saw this one through --- completed 200 tough miles.

In the morning we were thoroughly wet from the "30% chance of showers". Near Albany the rain was cold and stinging!

I rode with a number of people and I took care not to draft. (It *is* a training ride!) I rode with John, Mark, Adam and Del, to name a few. On Maple Grove I met up with Del and Adam and rode the rest of the way in with them.

(Adam rode down from Portland and was planning on riding back. He's the one to watch at RAO this year!!!) Del as usual doesn't have an "off" switch...

Distance: 200 miles
