21.00 mile bike ride SunRiver Loop+ 14.7mph 1:25:00
I failed to mention that while out on the new highway by SunRiver I had stopped for a break to talk on the phone. 3 bikers came by with racing team jerseys on. I finished my call and decided to see if I could stay at pace with them. Realize that I am on a mountain bike with knobby tires. I started working my way up the last 3/4 mile to the overpass, passed one biker. Once you go under the overpass there is a good long hill. I caught the 2nd rider just as he hit the top of the hill and the 1st rider had just stopped to wait for the other 2. It was great to see their faces when I go on by them with my old clunker of a bike.......good times. That kept the pressure on me going up River Road to make sure they didn't try to pass me, they didn't!
