Fall Back Flora Loop

So everyone's favorite time of year is back when it gets dark around 2pm or so it seems. Personally I would rather have darkness til noon if it allowed me a little time to see my house in the daylight after getting off work.

Anyway I got up this morning excited by thought of a nice ride with a sweet weather forecast and then I open my e-mail and see this from SeanMAN(?)

"Hey guys, think I'm gonna bail on this ride today"

I was like oh no your not and replied with something to the effect of "BS your going!". Then Scott chimed in with a few choice insults as well and Sean seeing the error of his ways relented and agreed to come along.

We arrived at Bogans on the Grande ronde river at about 9am and got geared up and headed out Under mostly cloudy skies but a nice temperature (for nov).

We had a nice cruise along the river for 16 miles then it was time to CLIMB up flora grade. Sean's GPS said the climb was 3100ft over aprox 7 miles. Once on top we had a fun and fast descent on Buford grade into Bogans Oasis where we feasted on burgers, fries and milkshakes.

Great way to start a new month!

Eric, Doug was tired after I pushed him so hard he had no idea what he ordered or ate. I mean, just look at him in the pic, looks all disoriented.
