1n09 to southfork

The Patch of honor
Watched the sun come up by the dam. Left the house at 4:30. i wanted to leave abit earlier but things happen.


Some loose climbs on this ride.
It does get worse, plus the nats
But the views of my day were spectactular.
15-mile climb from my house to 1n09
Now i must make my way across the Valley. 15-miles to Seven Oaks road. Lots of ups and downs on this one.
Keller Cliffs is an awesome spectical.
21-miles into my ride and i'm still smileing. Good Day no matter what the outcome.
Looking up at Keller Cliffs

Looking down at Keller Cliffs.
Remote camping close to Seven Oaks. i filtered water here, might be a good place to camp someday.

Todays plan was to leave early ride 6-8 hours and camp. it took me 6-hours to get to the Southfork campground and they had a couple of spots left. Iwas like cool this will work. The only problem was that it was cash only and i brought 5-dollars and a credit card with me. DOPE!! so, i heaed back to Angelus Oaks hoping to get some cash back but , the store was pemanetly closed. i should have tried to pedal to Big Bear which was my 2nd choice this morning. But when i got to the Radford Rd. cut off my legs said no way jose! so i continued to Southfork. i would have sleep in a turn out along 1n45 but i promised the wifey i would sleep in a "campground". So i could have tried to climb over Onex on the road but i decided to pull thr plug and take all in as a learning experience and i good fully loaded training ride. 72-miles, 8hrs.4-min I'll try again next weekend
