25mi Bike Ride: Vernonia to Banks

Post date: Jun 27, 2012 5:20:39 AM

In Oregon, rain happens. Even in June, it can be cold. On Sat, June 23, 4 of our boys from Troop 530 decided that there is no such thing as bad weather...just poor preparation...and rode the Banks-Vernonia trail in the cold rain. Even in the rain, it was a great ride. Beautiful scenery, great ride. We weren't completely prepared and we were cold, but we had a good time anyway. The rangers at Stub Stewart found us a bit entertaining as we had our lunch, but the weather was decidedly better on the second half, and we even saw the sun a few times. Our picture below was taken on the largest trestle that we crossed. All smiles.
