I made it this time second century of the year 136 miles yesterday! I went out through Minburn and almost to Jefferson. I was going to come back on the bike trail but that was unpassable. So back the way I came the last 2 hours Ended up in the dark do to my poor judgement of trying the trail and the resulting 3 miles of gravel road (on 23c tires) I now understand why you avoid gravel on road bikes. Stoped for lunch in Jamaca I could smell the food half a mile outside town and thought I need a greezy fat burger and onion ring. made good time out, but as I'm cruzing along down p-30 at 28 mph I realize that I'll be fighting the wind that is now pushing me and making this so easy. According to my Polar watch I burned 1,000 more calories on the way home than I did on the way out. With the sunset the wind died down and my bad route became alot better. Even tough I'm a little sore today I wish I was going out for a long ride instead of going to work this morning

Wow, the RRVT looks hosed! Guess we'll be waiting a bit to ride it. The gravel was in great shape yesterday, I hate to think what this next storm is going to do to it.
