Today I will ride to Kettle Falls Campground where Nancy has set up camp. I have 44 miles and one climb to get there, Sherman’s Pass.
The start is cool with a slight headwind, this feels good compared to the crippling heat of the past weeks. I have areas of shade and a constant grade of 6%.
Once over the top I coast the last 18 miles. It is noon and the sun is heating up the day.
The campsite is on the banks of Roosevelt Lake, Nancy and I go for a swim to cool off. We bring the two dogs and put them into the water. These dogs do not like water. The cooling off refreshed all of us.
