One more day to go. Rode out to Elk Creek Rd today. Weather was perfect. Knee started bothering me so I cut the ride short. Almost to 600 miles for the month which is 2x what I thought could do given the trip we took.
Trying to cram in a few more miles for the GCC effort. Two more days to go.
Had to get caught up on what’s been going on around town. So I dug out the old hard tail MTB and rode a mix of trails, sidewalks and road.
I had to take some time to get to know how to ride my MTB again. It’s been over 2 months since I rode it. Started off with some easy riding on the All American Trail and then climbed up M-Hill. Another beauty of a day.
Yay. Home! My favorite route is to go out to Sheridan Lake. Good shoulders and lots of climbing. Went over to the south side recreation area this trip. Hadn’t done that before. Gorgeous day. Good to be home.
Had some additional donations today. Thank you soooo much Mike and Sue. Liz and I rode thru parts of Portugal with Sue. She’s quite the rider. Mike, you’re the best. My best man.
Anyway, I realized today that all of my miles this year were ridden in Oregon and California. Nothing in SD yet. That’ll change this weekend hopefully.
More to come….
I liked the route we did yesterday so much that I decided to do it again today. Awesome. Saw a coyote on the ride. We head for home tomorrow.
Great ride with Liz on a Ride by GPS route. Beautiful scenery. Nice roads….many of which had bike lanes. A nice feature around here. Wish we had more of that back home. Ran into some little friends enroute.
GCC wise, funding has slowed quite a bit. Please share with friends or family that might have interest.
We relocated up to Bend OR today. Decided to explore a bit. Really nice town. Bike lanes on all arterial roads. Wow! Lazy river flows thru town. Lots of people out floating down the river.
Completed the bike mechanics course on Friday. Was a really good class to get me over the fear of tearing into a bike. Highly recommend UBI. Anyway, snuck in a ride after class. Last one before leaving Medford.
GCC UPDATE - achieved my mileage goal with today’s ride. Yay!
