Andrew's Creek ride

What a beautiful day! bb and me rode to Andrew's Creek which is up the Chewuch to the end of the pavement. That's 26 miles from my doorstep. Slight uphill climbing all the way up and nice descent down except today a headwind made it a little more challenging. There were quite a few people riding today and very little car/truck traffic. That makes for lot's of conversation and an enjoyable day. And like all good rides it ended at the bakery. Our regular hangout after rides. Remember the Methow Valley Tour coming up June 13 & 14th. 

Ride to Sun Mtn #2

The ride to Sun Mtn can be done on the road or on the trail, aka single track. That is what we did this afternoon. I gotta say, it is a little more demanding. We had a great ride and the trip down is always fun. 

Ride to Sun Mtn.

The Sun Mountain road is always a challenge climbing over 1000 feet in nine miles from Winthrop to arrive at the lodge at 2824 feet. Its a great cycling workout if you just don't have two or three hours to spend. Today my climbing partner bbBob and I rode up to the lodge to enjoy the wonderful views of the valley. After a quick moment at the bench in front of the lodge we headed back down. Since my ski accident where I broke five ribs I am more cautious descending and I don't think I hit over 32 mph. Sliding down the chipseal rode on my a$$ doesn't seem like much fun so caution will prevail. To sum it up, great ride on a great day. Cycling season is upon us.
