Week 15 – Sunday

Ryan and I met Todd at his place early Sunday morning for a long 60 mile ride. It rained overnight and was still overcast and cool this morning. I was a little chilly as we started off, and still feeling generally like sh*t. I learned I have a sinus infection, so I’m now on round two of antibiotics in the last month.
We headed north on Linder Rd toward Eagle. We turned east of Floating Feather and followed this all the way to Hwy 55. We crossed 55 and turned south onto Horseshoe Bend Rd. We then passed through Dry Creek Cemetery, where I felt like maybe I should stop and lay down, before turning east again on Hill Rd. We followed Hill all the way to Camel’s Back Park, where we turned south on 13th St and then east again on Fort. We followed Fort to Warm Springs and then took Warm Springs/Hwy 21 all the way out to the base of the dam at Lucky Peak. This was exactly 30 miles and our turnaround point. The sun was now out and it was shaping up to be a really nice morning, with no wind! We took a quick break and fueled up for the return trip. I was feeling ok considering my cough, clogged head, and two steady green streams out of my nose all morning.
We made our return trip reversing this same route and it was uneventful other than Todd’s flat tire somewhere along Hill Rd.
It was a good long ride, but I can tell I’m heading for some more time off to get over round two of my persistent crud.
