August 29: I Thought That Latecomers Missed Out

Tuesday, August 29, 2006

Another day off today and another ride. I didn’t want to do a 6-hour, so I was with the day riders. Wes is taking us and letting me ride Wyatt again.

We were supposed to ride to Soda Lake, but the day riders didn’t get here until 10:30 and they had to be back by 2:15, so we went as if we were going to Cowboy Cabin, but stayed in the sage plains. On the way back, we rode up a steep hill that I’ve thought about climbing. That gave us a nice view of the valley and the Tetons. 

The ride was just long enough. Anymore and it would have been painful. As it was, just below my knees was stiff and sore, but I could still use my legs. I am very thankful I didn’t go on the 6-hour ride.
