Aug 7th

It was our 32nd wedding anniversary today. We sat around the house for a while this morning contemplating what we were going to do. I said I would like to do a longer bike ride today...she said "go for it"...I did. I had intentions of doing a century today, but with the late start and dinner plans for this evening, I had to cut it short. I left the house around 11 am and headed for Hayward. I rode the first 35 miles with out stopping...straight to the New Moon shop. I bs'd with them for a while and then headed north around Smith and Nelson lakes...hit highway 27 north to Denver road...East Mail road to county G and back into Gordon. The wind on Highway 27 was a very strong headwind...middle ring...about 12 miles...slow going. It was an 81 mile loop with 4 hours 55 minutes of saddle time. I ate my sandwich here at Smith Lake.

Refueled my water at Nelson lake.

  1. Congrats...sometimes people look at you strange when you tell them you've been married for longer than 10 years.
