Vacation ride
Brought my bike with me on vacation. If today’s ride is the only ride I get in until Monday it will surely be worth bringing my bike. Todays ride was gorgeous. Rode from above Crescent Bar to Quincy and then back down to Crescent Bar. The last, oh 4 miles or so are down hill with a steep dropoff on your right. It was actually kinda freaky, especially with semi truck flying by you at 65 miles an hour.
I could tell drivers in the area don’t see many bikers riding, not many people gave me room. The tail winds from start through Quincy sure were nice, but the head winds coming back were brutal.
Well, off to wake the sleeping beauties and get today started. The wind is supposed to pick up later today so I’m sure we’ll be off the river and at the pool.
