RAGBRAI Week 4 Training

Only three days of riding this week on account of unseasonably cold and wet June weather. On the days we missed riding, the 3rd through 6th, it rained 0.58, 0.26, 0.19 and 0.38 inches respectively. In addition, the high for each day rarely cracked 60 degrees.

Being a native Seattlelite, I understand that June is not summer in the PNW. But this year, it feels like late winter rather than late spring. We are hopeful for next week.
