Sixty-One
At Timberline Lodge
Here I am in front of Timeberline Lodge around 6 PM Sunday.
Saturday we rode from Long Creek to Prineville, and on Sunday from Prineville to Timeberline. I don't completely trust everything my HR monitor says. Seems like it under-reports my speed when I'm spun out on decents. Nevertheless, here are the stats according to Polar:
Date: 5/7/2005
Time: 9:30 AM
Duration: 9:48:38
Distance: 138.9 miles
Ascent: 6841 ft.
Date: 5/8/2005
Time: 7:14 AM
Duration: 10:50:11
Distance: 133.5
Ascent: 9419
The climb up Timberline was a nice exclamation point to a weekend of great riding. My speed going up the hill varied between 6-8 mph until the last mile or so when it hovered just above 5.
There were too many great things about the weekend to list them all. But I can't finish without saying how neat it was to be out on the road at the same time the 3-day training camp was going on. I met George and Terri, the Llamas (Ken and Lisa), Tom and Andreas (two machines), and saw lots of other folks on bikes. So cool!

Hey John, great to see you out on the road! You really rock that thing up the hills. Scott is an animal, he passed Lisa and I Sunday like we were crawling. :D I guess Sarah got a flat just after I passed her, but our crew stopped and helped.
It looks like you got to Timberline Lodge before the weather turned nasty. I think I was just hitting the bottom when you were summiting. It got even worse later. :(
4 weeks and countign!
