Climbing is GOOD


May 4, 2012

Arrived at Millerton Lake, 12 miles east of Fresno, California yesterday midday.  Very nice lake for sailing!!  Also the roads leading to the lake and around the area looked good for cycling so today we headed out from our campsite into the unknown!  Our ride today was 30.6 miles and the first hour and 20 minutes involved a lot of climbing!!!  Our mph went down to 5-6 at some points in the climb, but exceeded 40 mph on the way back.  Fun, fun, fun!  The area was absolutely beautiful – green rolling hills dotted with wildflowers , valley oaks, and cows (we even saw a couple of longhorns).

Feeling pretty good after the ride, still no neck pain I am happy to report.  Will probably feel the climbing in the legs tomorrow!  Back in time to go sailing on Millerton and it looks like the wind is going to be really good this afternoon.
