After a long climb, donning warmer clothes for the rapid, cool descent
Not climbing these
My office
Today's ride was 53 miles. I climbed for the first 17 miles. The last 4 were 7% grade. It took almost 3 hours for the 17 miles with an altitude gain of 3500 feet. Then I flew down the next 9 miles in about 18 minutes. I was warned about the long downhill so I put on all the warm clothes I had. The rest of the day was up and down with more down then up.
The countryside is the Cascades, green, lush and damp with rapidly flowing rivers roaring alongside the road at this time of the year. This is the Washington state of the vacation guides.

Nice ad for Garmin. Did you think to get them as a sponsor?
