It’s a great ride, with the way out having a mix of gravel and paved rail trails and old dirt/grass roads and the way back having other dirt/grass roads and a nice just barely downhill descent back into town. A tailwind and tiny descent really makes one feel fast. The climb back up to South Hills along some unnamed dirt trails makes you feel slow again.

We passed through lots of neat scenery and some of the normal long straight rail trail stuff. We passed through Turnbill Wildlife Reserve which had nice ponds and lots of birds.

The camping was nice. Quiet, good views of the lake, good places to hang hammocks. It’s one of those places that makes you glad to have a hammock…I didn’t see any good spots for a tent.

Now we’re prepping for the 6pm BBQ. If you live in Spokane then stop by at John’s (apparently the bike folks know where it’s at).

Tomorrow I’m off to Tuscarora Pottery School in Tuscarora, NV and hanging out with my Mom.

More pictures.
