FreeWheel 2009 Day 2: Apache to Cordell

It was another great day on the bike. Right at 70 miles, in less than four and a half hours.  Lots of climbing, and a nasty north wind (isn't it summer?).

It is getting late, and I don't feel much like writing, so I'll skip straight to the Garmin site (here), and the pics.  Enjoy.


Freewheel organizers did a great job finding some nice country lanes.


...along with some nice downhills to make up for the climbs.


They didn't make us climb Mt. Scott (in the distance)


And they found us some spectacular scenery.








I ran into my buddy Jim Lake.  Jim and I graduated from high school together, and have been friends since
7th grade.  Jim is a bike commuting giant, riding 16,000 miles since 2004. He doesn't even own a car!



Your excuses for not riding a bike are now officially lame. Meet my friend Bob, awesome rider, and a good guy.


Adam was out on the ride today, tearing it up as usual.


Chris is out working on bikes this week.  Great mechanic, great friend.  Chris works at Lee's Bikes.


Dennis' rest stops are always a welcome sight.  I refer to him as "Saint Dennis."

    When I tell people at work how many miles I ride, it's with an exclamation mark(!) But when I mentioned it to you, it was with ellipses(...) - an excuse as to why I wasn't able to keep up, because my bike's worn out!
