I rode the Chelan Century on Saturday in perfect weather conditions.

This year I brought the Merckx.

I rode the entire day with a very fast ride partner. He's a Cannonball and S2S veteran.


I ran into an acquaintance I met in Chelan a few years ago when I saw him riding a beautiful old Appel. I posted a photo of that bike in the "Spotted in the wild' thread a while ago. He was riding another old bike this year - check it out:

On the last leg of the ride we climb over the beautiful Navarre Canyon. Legs a bit wobbly after hours of fast riding we ease back a bit. It was a perfect way to finish off the day. A long climb up, fast descent down to the lake and a short ride back to our starting point where a cold beer awaited us.
