So it was a "lonely" Wednesday for Keely and me as Kellie and Manny were unable to ride today. We thought we'd do Gross Reservoir via Flagstaff Mtn. from home and back. The morning started off a little rough. I (Suzanne) had a rear tube that I needed to change since my tire was not inflating correctly this am. Clearly I haven't done enough of these, but the practice was good and 45 minutes later, I was ready to go.
It was an extremely hot day today. Upper 90's for sure. 2 bottles of water were not enough for our long trip. Thankfully on the way down we could stop at Chautauqua Park for more. The ride beyond Super Flagstaff (the true summit) is fun going to the reservoir because it is mostly downhill, but the way back is a bear!
Anyway, after 3 hours and 22 minutes of riding time, 34.17 miles and 4075 feet of elevation gain, I am happily showered and home. Another good ride for our training. Only 10 more days until we leave for Durango!
