My work project completed on schedule and Nichol flew up with her bike to start our play project. Saturday we bolted from Washington to Bend Oregon for some MTB fun for a few days before heading to parts further south.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nichol setup us up with a nice pad for the stay.<\/p>\n

The opening day ride was a shuttle up to Swampys where we did the Swampy Lake loop to Swede Ridge, Area 16, Upper and Lower Whoops followed by some Phil’s and Bens.<\/p>\n

Hmmm I wonder where Nichol came up with the idea to put a beer in her ice filles camelbak bladder?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So I had told Nichol that route was 25 miles long. This was indeed true. At the Phil’s trailhead it was 25 miles. I neglected to mention the ride from the trailhead back to town. So for the last five or six miles Nichol accused me of trying to kill her.<\/p>\n

I think she did pretty darn well today and I did not hear to much protesting on the last few miles. (I did however ride a little further ahead which maaaay just have been slightly outside of earshot!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Once back in town all was better as we recounted the days awesomeness over tasty beers.<\/p>\n
