I had to do a little work this weekend - so Thor and I got an early start on Sunday morning and headed out to Syncline to get a ride in. We were on the trail by about 9a.m. - just in time to catch the first beautiful light of the day. We forgot our camera, but Thor's iPhone did a pretty good job capturing the setting!
Our view from one of the first switchbacks - Mt.Hood in the distance.

I think I'm taking a sip of water from my camelback here....or I could be blowing a snot rocket. It's debatable. ;)

Thor - happy to be out riding - as always!
Looks like it was a gorgeous ride!
