Great ride out to the Bountiful Temple and back. Killer hill. Fun ride though!

On vacation in the wonderful town of Graeagle, CA where my Dad grew up. It's a little former lumber town where they used to make the wooden boxes for CA oranges. Now it's a retirement community in with several golf courses and the cute house my Dad grew up in is The Graeagle Mill Works--a bakery and sandwich shop that does a hopping business. Anyway, today Lisa and I rode our bikes into town and did a little loop back to the campground. 25 miles total. Freezing though! We had to stop and get some hot chocolate. Much cooler in the middle of the Sierra Nevada mountains than it is at the same elevation in Davis County, Utah.

Lisa and I had a great ride up the Gold Lakes Highway and over to the Sardine Lakes where we dismounted and did a five mile hike with the kids up to the upper Sardine Lake overlook. An absolutely spectacular view of some of the most beautiful mountains in the country--no kidding! Then we rode back, but on the way back we took a sharp turn to ride up to a waterfall and Lisa spilled out in some gravel. She suffered some mean road rash, but was tough and after we cleaned her leg, hand and elbow and taped them up with the help of some good samaritan's first aid supplies, she continued on. I don't think it hurt that she has been watching some of the amazing athletes in the Tour de France wreck and get back up and ride. She's very tough! 50 miles total and over 3,000 feet of vertical. Good ride except for the spill.

I got Lisa back out on the road so she wouldn't be afraid to ride. She did pretty good, but was nervous. More gravel and a cattle guard didn't help. We climbed 1,000 feet and did 22 miles. Again, I think she's one tough chick.

Short run mostly on the road, but some dirt and did it in my trail running shoes. Just something to get the blood moving before the 10 hour drive home. Bummer that the vacation had to go so fast.
