The past week has been a blast when it comes to rides. I think I have mentioned my friend, Roger Barnhart, and that we have a common love for cycling. Him and his wife just so happen to be from Eastern Washington also (Wenatchee and Stehekin to be exact), and they are in our ward. They've been gone all summer, and now that they're back, we've been excited to catch back up with them and to take advantage of some great riding. This last Thursday Roger and I went for a ride and had a great time. I tried to best my P.R. up South Fork (17:30), but was only successful in tying my time. We had a great time and talked about other rides we could go on. With the labor day weekend, we decided that all four of us would go for a ride and enjoy the beauty of biking together.
We decided to do the loop around West Mountain. I've ridden around it before, but this time we drove out to a church parking-lot in Benjamin (SMALL town... not even really a town... west of Spanish Fork). That cut about 30 miles or so off our total ride, which would've been great, but we just wanted to go for a nice, leisurely "Labor Daybor" ride. We enjoyed some beautiful weather and favorable conditions. We even have a nice picture that Roger took to prove we did it!
Me, Bridgie, Brooke and Roger Barnhart
We definitely had a blast and look forward to doing rides this fall. The weather is beautiful, and the roads are calling our names!
Labor Daybor Miles: 31.6
I didn't even realize they made bike seats that high. :) Just FYI, I've now done cycling at the gym three days in a row. It's kicking my butt... seriously.
