Lake Pleasant for Lunch, Table Mesa for Wheeling, Gillette for Camping

Due to what I believed to be a broken motor mount, I parked the FJ and hopped in with Jeff (CactusCruzer) for a day of wheeling and generally taking it easy.  First stop was Lake Pleasent for lunch where we met SealClubber, Miss R2, Remcon, TRIPHX and FJFEVER.  Unfortunately the entire day passed before I realized I had the exposure comp on my camera set waaay down (just in case you're wondering why it's so dark).

Wednesday Morning Bike Ride

I went for a longer version of the ride I took last Sunday since that was a lot of fun and on really nice roads. Again it went pretty well, though I'm not sure how much longer I could have kept it up... I was pretty damn wasted at the end of this one!

Good news is I completely blew through the hills that had me slowed up last time. I got the 'end' of that ride (Sunrise & Swan) much easier. That last hill near mile 19 pretty much kicked my ass, though, and it was slow from there out. Well, it was slow when I actually had to power the bike... most of it was fast downhill from that point.

Time: 1:58:50
Distance: 30.1 miles
