Eagle Crest 2011

We spent the last week at Eagle Crest in Redmond, Oregon and did several rides, just like we did last year and the year before.

Summary Stats (3 big rides) Ride Distance: 284 miles   Elevation Gain: 13,000 feet   Average Moving Speed: 15.50 mph

Bachelor Sunriver OB

Today we started our ride with good friend Janette. The plan was to ride from Eagle Crest to Sunriver, and if Janette felt up to it we would do the 4-mile side excursion to get the rest of the way up to Mt. Bachelor on the way there.

Quick Stats Ride Distance: 111.76 miles   Elevation Gain: 6474 feet   Average Moving Speed: 15.39 mph

McKenzie Pass OB

Our legs are feeling it from the prior two centuries in 3 days. So we decided to keep today's ride well under the century mark.

Quick Stats Ride Distance: 67.16 miles   Elevation Gain: 3271 feet   Average Moving Speed: 15.57 mph

Prineville Bend Loop

Our first ride at Eagle Crest, on the first full day there, Monday. Started out with a beautiful sunrise. No better way to start a vacation or a bike ride.

Quick Stats Ride Distance: 104.91 miles   Elevation Gain: 3275 feet   Average Moving Speed: 15.56 mph

Lewis County

Our goal for today was to go faster than we did last year on this ride. Today we did this ride unsupported. They hold the supported ride in May, and we've ridden it twice, until this year because of the cruddy weather we were having back in May (and June and April and...).

Quick Stats Ride Distance: 99 miles   Elevation Gain: 3,232 feet   Average Moving Speed: 16.5 mph

Covered Bridge Bicycle Tour

Today's ride was about as opposite as you can get from last weekend's ride.

Quick Stats Ride Distance: 99.36 miles   Elevation Gain: 3,149 feet   Average Moving Speed: 16.68 mph

Mount Shasta Super Century

It was a hot day. The weather reported it as 86 degrees in the City of Mt. Shasta.

John's Quick Stats   Ride Distance: 107.27 miles   Elevation Gain: 10,830 feet   Average Moving Speed: 12.6 mph

Climbing Half a Cherry

We weren't sure how much to tackle today as we need to taper down our training before the big ride next weekend. And we also just did a substantial ride of three Larch Mountain repeats on Friday. But we both felt good so we went with a fairly solid ride, the last of such until the doozy on Sunday.
