Riding Around

We headed south, away from the mountains on a 33 mile loop ride.

The roads, for the most part, lack a berm or bike path.  Traffic was light for about the first third and then became a little heavier as we changed roads.

We headed back via Whitefish Tail Road, enjoying nice views of the mountains and farms.

We gained 1400' of elevation so all in all, a nice first ride.

Jack and a deer do a stare-down.  I've never seen such a concentration of deer in one area.  They are everywhere.

There are some legit climbs nearby, a combination of three known as the "Triple Crown".  I rode the 3 mile climb up Reservoir Road then another 3 miler then thought better of the trying the aptly named, "Big Mountain". Save that for another day.  I finished with only 17 miles but with 1600' of climbing

The route.

We got together with a friend of Amy's who has a place on Whitefish Lake. The sun still sets after 9pm here which is so odd as in Tucson, sunset is at 7:15pm.

On our way home, we drove past the lake.  Nice view.  Regarding our temporary home....

....Jack seems to like it a lot.
