Last weekend, we took a short trip to Walla Walla, home of Whitman College, Clarette's and magnificent riding. Unfortunately I didn't take any fantastic photographs, but I did go on two fantastic bike rides.
It was foggy. It was damp. It was chilly. It was hilly.
But the company, lack of automobiles and smooth pavement more than made up for all that. And even made the fog and hills kind of fun.
Friday: 3.5 hours, out to Waitsburg, then to Dayton, then back up the "Elevator Shaft" and into Walla Walla along Rte 12 to make it back before dark.
Saturday: 4.5 hours, out to Waitsburg again, then onto the loop for the Tour of Walla Walla Friday road race course, and back to Walla Walla along Middle Waitsburg Rd., also the final climb for the final road race course in the Tour of WW.
Good. Hard. FUN.
THIS is what riding a bike is all about.
