Today my group got to get up early to set out breakfast. It was actually kind of fun. After riding a stretch on I 90 we rode along a nice blacktop road with a few hills but great scenery. Then after our morning break we took a state highway along a pretty river in a canyon. I was enjoying myself so much along here, that I missed the turn off the highway and had to climb back 2 miles up a big hill I had just ridden down. More "bonus" miles. After lunch break in Ellensburg, they had us ride out on another state highway that eventually became a nice quiet ride, but at first only had a foot of shoulder and a great deal of traffic!!!! Very harrowing. There is a tall ridge with large wind vanes on the eastern side of the Columbia. All you Washingtonians who have been in Eastern Washington have seen it. Well today i cycled up that ridge and all along it, then came down very fast and cold! I was very tired today both on and off the bike. I think the lack of sleep is telling on me. Hopefully a good rest tonight will help.
