Today i rode 29.20 miles of the Black Canyon trail (BCT). Steve drove us in his Sprinter down to Rock Springs where we paid $20 shuttle fee He rode from Bumble bee down and I went for the 30 mile special. I started from Antelope Springs and headed S to the van and beer @ Black Canyon TH. the first 5 miles were new to me; I dropped 1000′. Treasure Mine is where our out and back from Bumble bee turns around. From there down I have ridden. Again, I rode over the section that I helped build. 3 hrs 50 mins climbing 2545′. i rode in the mid chain ring the entire ride and mostly in 2nd largest cluster. I faced head wind. Beautiful day. i put on sunscreen. Steve was lazing in a chair at the van when i arrived. A satisfying beer then over to the cafe for pie. Steve drove back to VOC. I caught a shower then Pad Thai for dinner. Sleep is in the parking lot.
Crazy. I encountered a small group of riders who were bike camping. We were searching for a less wet crossing of the Agua Fria. A guy called me jp nuts. i asked for a memory refresher. We met @ oakridge in 2011 during Cream puff activity.
Sat Steve and I rode the Hiline loop. Sat on 3 day weekend nice day on very popular day hike trail was not so smart. We finished in time to miss a few minutes of the Zags game that I received on my computer. Zags won and Duke lost.
My new DR examined me. I have an orthor referral for my right shoulder.
I’m becoming too tired to continue. Ah, laying flat on my back.
