GASBBT TRAINING 7/1-7/5

In keeping with my pledge to train in only the best places, I did a 20 mile ride this morning that included a relaxing respite at the Rockwood Bakery. The next morning I rode a three mile shakedown fully loaded. It was beneficial because I learned that I don't want to use Judy's panniers. Mechanically, Miss Kitty is smooth and solid. Happy 4th. It feels good to be free. Rode 33 miles down river and back. I'm constantly amazed at the beauty of my training zones. Lucky and Free. What a combo! Rode the Fish Lake Trail from Spokane to Cheney. 47 miles total and even in the wind in the heat of the day, the ride was excellent. Tomorrow, my training site changes to Priest Lake, a place hard to match. I feel good about 102 miles on this section.

A very fine little coffee break.

Aubrey White Parkway. No cars mostly. Very nice.

Part of the Centennial Trail, this parkway offers many whoop de doos.
