Finally

Well, I guess I had better update this blog again before the MS Ride happens for 2017. Here we are in July and I have covered over 3,000 miles so far. My longest ride so far has been about 70 miles in one day. The winter really knocked down my riding time since I pretty much just rode back and forth to work with not very much extra miles put in.

Philip and I took a trip to see Monica in April and I was able to bike from Morgan, UT to Echo, UT. It was interesting to find out that the route I rode had been used in the Tour of Utah several years ago. I rode quite a bit in Fort Collins over the week that we were there and then I got to ride from Green River, WY to Little America, WY on the way home. It was a pretty straight stretch of road with a pretty neat history to it.

Philip and I got to ride the Route of the Hiawatha Trail in June with a group of other people. I rode down and back up and it was especially fun to ride through the tunnels. The trestles were pretty neat but I did not like the heights.

I did a little bit of riding in McCall near the end of June and most of the rest of my riding has been on roads and trails around home. I can say that a lot of gravel has been ridden the past few weeks around here.

The ride that I am most looking forward to other than the MS Ride is the first ride pulling the bike trailer with grandson Erik in it. He and Monica will be in town in August and this will be such a cool experience. I remember pulling her and Rachel in a bike trailer when they were wee little ones.

I will go ahead and post the link for my page at the MS Society to round out this post. http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/WASBikeEvents?px=4939697&pg=personal&fr_id=28274
