First day - what else to start in the Pacific Northwest: fog. Burned off fast, nice tailwinds up a long very gentle valley through farms, orchards. Then up over Stevens Pass at 4061 feet and down the other side for a fast at first, then gentle but tailwind descent into Wenatchee.
205 km (123 miles) - 8 hours pedaling, 9 1/4 hr total.
Felt pretty mellow with that tailwind - lots of very low intensity time.
Way to go Dad!
ReplyDeleteRemember that the peleton is often crazy that first week. And don't get your feed bag tangled in your wheel....
ReplyDeleteI felt really good about my 3 hour ride today. Then I put on sweatpants and ate a huge meal while I check in on your progress. Hmmm, I think you win the day even with the tailwinds.
