Lisa and I had a great ride up the Gold Lakes Highway and over to the Sardine Lakes where we dismounted and did a five mile hike with the kids up to the upper Sardine Lake overlook. An absolutely spectacular view of some of the most beautiful mountains in the country--no kidding! Then we rode back, but on the way back we took a sharp turn to ride up to a waterfall and Lisa spilled out in some gravel. She suffered some mean road rash, but was tough and after we cleaned her leg, hand and elbow and taped them up with the help of some good samaritan's first aid supplies, she continued on. I don't think it hurt that she has been watching some of the amazing athletes in the Tour de France wreck and get back up and ride. She's very tough! 50 miles total and over 3,000 feet of vertical. Good ride except for the spill. |
