The long ride

Meet the boys at Mr. Lund’s house for a 10am departure. Much colder than the freaking weather report had indicated and the wind? What the hell!! Our prize? Swan Falls; if you have had not had the chance to ride this little beauty, it’s a must. Rolling hills, wind and mile after mile of asphalt and the best part of the ride is the hill. Here is a shot from the top of the hill looking at the dam below.

It’s approximately 1.5 miles form the top to the dam.

We took a quick photo or two and then up we go.

Here is a quick shot of the road up. It’s hard to see but it’s a grind!!
The road up

After reaching the top we headed back, the first 10 miles or so wasnt bad because the wind was out backs but that soon changed and the grind was back.  Normally a 57 mile ride would  be just that but after a 16 mile run yesterday, slugging out a 25 mile head wind I was in no mood.  Yet I sucked it up and finished.  3hrs 37min.  Until next time.
