Last night’s ride marked the first time I have gone riding this year on my road bike without getting a flat. I rode to the Arlee area and back. The entire ride was 33 miles with 2,100 vertical feet of climbing and took me around an hour and a half.
Starting at Merault’s Travel Plaza, I traveled north up the Evaro Pass and down what turned out to be a rather dangerous road. There are no shoulders, and the “death crosses” (road markings indicating high-risk areas) were all over. Additionally, I have heard of the many drunk drivers that frequent that stretch of road, which terrified me. The one thing that put my mind at ease and coated my eyes with beauty were the Mission Mountains. The air was clear, and the views were beautiful.
