Everybody was up early this morning, so we had things ready to go by 7:30 and Gavin and Kevin hit the road at 7:40. I repacked the car after they left and started out about 8:15.
Kevin:
Today's ride was short and very nice. There were a couple of short climbs, but the road was great and the weather was cool and clear. There was a short 7% down grade (high gear and pedal as fast as you can), and even on the flat parts it seemed easy enough to maintain 15 mph or better. It took only 50 minutes to get to the Midland rest area, and then only another 60 minutes to get to our campsite in Klamath Falls.
Patty:
I got to the RV park earlier than the guys, but it was only 9:30, so I went across the street to get gas.($4.27 per gallon! Who'd of thought I'd be happy to pay that?) I had just finished getting gas and noticed Gavin and Kevin coming down the road. We checked in and set up the tents.
After everything was set up we went into town to pick up some things we needed. I am now sitting in the Rec Room at the RV park updating the blog while the laundry gets done. Kevin and Gavin played a game of pool, and now Gavin is off to the convenience store to get a snack.
Ride Stats:
Distance (today) 24.4 mi
Distance (trip) 75.7 mi
Riding time 1 hr 48 min
Average Speed 13.5 mph
Maximum Speed 44.1 mph (courtesy of the 7% downgrade!)
As soon as the laundry is done we're off to have some dinner.

You know........that kind of looks like where Marty and I stayed on the first night of our honeymoon. This is Klamath Falls, right?
Also, WHY did you have laundry after only two nights away from home?????? :)
