The sky was clear but was a bit cool at 34 degrees as I drove over to the start location. Luckily it warmed up quickly and was in the low 40's as we began around 8:30AM. We held a good pace as we pedaled westward towards Bald Peak. As we began to climb the group spread out a bit.
We continued working our way up the hill. After a suitably long period of effort we reached the summit. Here Mark and Sandy reach today's goal.
As I descended I could see Wapato Lake and the Gaston area.
My mind wandered to the Banana Belt bike races taking place at Hagg Lake today. I decided to turn down that 18% grade and pass through Laurelwood on my way to make a lap of Hagg Lake and see the fast boys and girls ride.
After my lap of the lake I made my way back to Metro Perc via Blooming Fernhill Rd.
I guess it IS ONLY EARLY MARCH, but after yesterday's 102 miler with 6580 feet, and today's little hill climb with 3960 ft I was tired!
