Alsea Falls

I could barely tear myself from the TdF stage this morning, and consequently I was late for the group ride. Eva was late too. Cole, Brian, Eva, Gordon and I rolled off towards Alsea Falls.

I put together a little video. Warning, the video is very shaky. EDIT: Uh oh, I just realized the music has the F-bomb in it.

Here’s the PowerTap file. Gordon dropped me towards the top of the climb to the Mary’s Peak turnoff after I attacked our little group. I snuck off the front with Eva on the Alsea climb. Eva slipped back. Cole bridged up near the end and I “put the hammer down” and he fell off. We decided to drill it up Hwy 99, but I was tired and Eva was too. We slowed down. Eva made me some Stumptown (delicious) and a tuna sandwich (also delicious) while we watched the end of today’s stage (epic), then some BMX (insane). I rolled home, finishing 74 miles and 4.5 miles in the saddle.

Speaking of saddles, I got some dznuts, and it’s pretty freaking awesome. I put a little on the outside of my feet too- thanks to Fischer for that tip.
