Longest day!

First ride with Mollie and Ryan, long gravel stretches where I could see for miles and miles, stopped at the Watering Holes Diner in Fort Rock and got breakfast sandwiches, petted puppies, road through the red sauce forest, ran low on water and got more from Dennis and his extra supply (Dennis is a camel).

Got out of the red sauce forest and rode through desert sections of gravel with no shade, did a downhill gravel section that was slow because of wind, met up with Dennis, talked about the owner of Lezyne who also started Truvativ, Dennis and I felt beat and had to power through paved 900 ft uphill. Took a break and saw Ryan charging up the hill on his single speed! We bombed down the paved desent with Mollie and Ryan and it was spectacular! I went super fast through a right hairpin turn that felt wonderful. The descent ended at our campsite where we had great conversation and I used my can opener to make tuna spaghetti.
