I went over to the local University this morning to take some photos of the women's tennis match and then left to meet the Sunday afternoon ride a town over. There wasn't much of a turnout today as some of the regulars decided to get an earlier start. It was a perfect day to ride in the mid 60s, breezy with full sun.


I rode with Ludwig, a 72yo former Euro racer. He can still get on it.


We ran across a forest fire though the smoke was never much of an issue.


It was a bigger fire than we first thought.


The Forest Service had helicopters dumping water to try to control the blaze.


We rode just to the left of the fire.


Looking back up river you can see the smoke in the air.

We had a great ride of 30 miles in 1:45 ride time and 2200' of climbing. Beautiful day to be on a bike.
