This was a beautiful day on the bike.  Again uneventful starting before 7 am twice…  Yea I got out on the road and started riding decided to take a drink form my Camelback tube and found no tube.  I left it in my room with my room key.  Fortunately the woman in the office was up and gave me the second key to retrieve my pack.  A “DOH!” moment to be sure.  I finished around 2 PM so pretty good time was made.

Normally at the Blewitt Pass lunch stop we are fighting yellow jackets and flies.  No competition this year at all, and the Tomato Basil soup was great.  Coming down I saw a couple of very fast women, I have the inertia advantage on the downhills, for me to have to work at passing someone half my weight or lighter is very impressive.

We had a different route into Leavenworth a little easier for me at least.  I am sleepy but it is dinner time almost so I am gone.  Bye bye.
