Joanne and I finished the Mountain Lake Challenge and it was one tough ride. After a short seven mile warm up, you climb for eleven miles the climbing begins. All in all, you gain 7000 feet in 97 miles! My average was just 13.9 mph. Afterward, John and Karen Poole invited Pete, Joanne and me up to their cabin at Lake of the Woods. They are great hosts! This week, I plan on going to the gym on Monday, attending the Salem Bicycle Club meeting on Tuesday, leading our Wednesday night ride and finally back to the gym on Thursday. Friday will be a rest day before the Northwest Tandem Rally.
