Today was … SUNNY! Yay! Spend some time working, then spend some time riding, yeah!

But first – breakfast! Gotta go mail something, so we walk to the post office, get our package and envelope mailed ouit, and go around the corner to Izzy’s:

Little hole in the wall? Yuppers! Good food? Double yuppers! I had a Mexican style Latke with two fried eggs on top – If I come back and have another, I’ll have to tease the waitress and say “I didn’t order hashbrowns, I ordered a Latke!”. But I’ll probably come back for the pancake. Yes, singular, and it’s $7.00. WHAT?? Yeah, that’s what I thought, but check out what you get for your $7.00:

Yes, that is one BIG pancake! The guy is looking at it as if he doesn’t quite know what to do with it, and I can sympathize! Except I’d eat it, not look at it! Yes, it’s bigger than your head!

On the way back, took a picture of this, which is on the way in to town:

Pretty cool!

Returned home, The Bear washed the bikes while I worked on the trailer wiring a little bit, then it was time to ride! We went on an easy ride, because I’ve been having trouble adjusting to the altitude, and got some shots:

Of course, when we got done, The Bear had not had enough, so we did a HARD climb towards Gunsight Pass. Yes, it’s a road, if you can call it that, but it’s a rough one, and after about a dozen switchbacks, we ran out of time to keep climbing, so we headed for home. We’d set ourselves a turnaround time of 5:30, and were evidently still two or three miles from the top, and it gets steeper the closer it gets to the top! We made it 1.75 miles before we turned around, so I feel pretty good about it. Total ride was 14 miles. And I did fine – it was a good day!

Burger for dinner, and off to bed!
