54 miles, 3668 feet of climb (200 ft/division)
Today we rode a big loop that passed by three lakes. We carpooled to the
intersection of FH40 and Edison Ice Cave Rd and started the ride from there.
Some riders drove farther, to the intersection of FH 46, so they could avoid
much of the climb.
There was plenty of snow still on the ground at the higher elevation as we
circled around Mt. Bachelor. The temperature was moderate – the armwarmers
went on and off several times.
Lunch was at a boating resort at Elk Lake, the second lake we passed on the route today. It was pleasant watching the boaters from the lawn above the dock.
I heard a report that Gary had a tire blowout two miles before the end of the
ride. Linda had to drive back and pick him up.
