It has been a long time since I posed, but I plan to ride to Kick-back with one of high-schoolers. Doing 200 miles in two days. Leaving our homes and riding to Bakersfield (day 1) , get up and ride again for another 100 miles. The plan is arrive at Kelley’s beach in Reedley, Monday afternoon.

Today was a conditioning ride of 66 miles, from the house to 3-Points and come out at Neenach. We saw our friend pastor Mike Rice mowing the lawn at Grace Chapel of Neenach. From there we rode home with the wind behind us.

The elevation gain was 2,550 feet maxing out at 4,116 feet, the moving average was 12.5. The wind was very strong from the west. We rode all the mountain in a facing wind. Sometimes this wind must have reach at least 40 MPH and was trying to stop us. Even some of the down hills, we found it hard because of the wind.
