Well, today is two weeks on the button (the end of my limited activity period), so I decided on doing an easy ride to marker 67 on Hwy 12. Had the usual monkey business in town, and a bit in Lolo, but it started off fine. Near Graves there were two groups of riders coming back to town as I was heading west. I maintained a pretty decent pace going over. After turning around, coming back, I went to the Lodge briefly to visit the red water pump (below). The place was busy with the rafters getting ready for some soon-to-be action on the Lochsa; but, as you can see by the low clarity above, it's not happening yet.
This is my fourth (I think) Edge 305 refurb. It's nice to see the familiar batman below though, indicating that it is working. Still interesting that the Garmin says 126, and the turnaround sign is 67? Coming back was fine until it started raining at Bear Creek and the wind as usual was a problem. I stopped and put on the old shell. Hwy 93 coming back was serious wind and I about fatigued out there stopping at the weigh station for a minute or two; but, I held on and rode home. I'm pretty sure things will come together. The shoulder felt pretty well. Hope to be on Red before too long.
