Weather still pretty bad, but not enough excuse for another week of very little cycling. Only out once, in driving rain and wind - managed 15 miles but not much fun.

I may not be getting any fitter but I am getting better at entering sportives... just signed up for the Mount Hood Classic in Oregon. Its over two days and on the first day you ride up Mount Hood, a pretty large inactive volcano, visable from all over Oregon in the same way you can't avoid seeing Ventoux from anywhere in Provence. Have a look at: Mt Hood Classic. My brother-in-law, Pete, lives in Portland, only an hour drive from the start so will stay with him for the week. It is organised to be on the day a professional race goes up the montain - you start at 7.00 and they start three hours later, challenge is to get to the top before the caravan catches you and you have to pull over.
