Keefer Road Loop today which in it self is only 12 miles, but we don't drive to it we ride to it so it makes it a tad bit longer. 32.67 miles longer.
We stopped at Horse Shoe lake, which now actually looks like a lake, rather than a puddle. Lot's of bird and lot's of wild flowers. It was nice and cool great riding weather.
Look back up at Monkey Face Trail and getting ready to take off.
11.67 miles into the ride and eating the first of our Cliff Bars and topping off our water.
This is the small eatery we use as a rest stop, and in the summer those shades come in really handy.
Taking off down Cohasset and headed toward Keefer turn off. Very beautiful area.
MUDD CREEK with a barn in the back ground. Got treated to seeing a little ground squirrel running though the grass out to a stump. So cute. But didn't see any Jack Rabbits. The grass is taller so they can hide.
The lava rock formations out here are really interesting.
Yeah I know this is a really bad shot. But that's the hill going up and it's brutal. We did it, and I was tired, but not like the first time we tried it. We were heaving and so out of breath my lungs hurt. So this time was a lot easier. We have been climbing smaller hills, so that helped. I usually can stand up on the bike while peddling and rock the bike back and forth to help peddling up hill, but I could only do that for a short while, then I had to sit down and lower the gear down.
KEEFER ROAD.
Maybe not a big deal for all the cyclist who it's as easy as cake. But it is a big deal for us. Don't really like the fact that the turn is on a blind corner, make is kind of scary, because cars whip around their. After the turn it's smooth sailing, it down hill for quite awhile. If we don't put the breaks on a little bit we can reach speeds of 35 miles an hour, no thank you their a lot of sharp curves. We only reached 25 miles an hour.
Poppies along the way.
Turning on Hicks Lane and headed to our next break stop at my mother in-laws Christine's home. It's really amazes me how just taking a 10 minute break can recharge you.
Getting buzzed by a plane. It was a lot lower in person. You can see Chris moving along at the bottom of the picture.
The road home. From here it was 6 miles home.
