We’re off on our bikes - Undulating Hills- grades up to 20%
Let the riding begin! Connor, from ROW Adventures, got us all fitted, adjusted, pumped up and ready to go. Six on ebikes and 6 on regular bikes. A beautiful ride looking down on the river. LOTS of hills for a round trip of 32.3 miles out to Nine Mile Falls and back! Maneuvered detours through Spokane, a lunch at the Tin Cup, first flat tire, wildlife spotting and fabulous scenery. Couldn’t have been a better start.
Checking the route with Connor. There are a few detours for construction and Connor explained how to navigate those spots. He also rode with us through the spot with the largest detour right in Spokane.
The ride was great, beautiful scenery, great friends, lots of twisty turns downhills and also lots of uphills. In our 32 miles we climbed about 1700 feet. Some of the climbs were a pretty steep grade. The garmin said that one particular hill included some parts with a 20% grade. Another hill was named the doomsday hill. It was pretty long and near the end of the ride, though the grade wasn’t terribly steep. One other hill was listed as the Aubrey White Puke Inducer hill in Strava… 🤮🤢 Not sure which one that was….
Back to Spokane, some gathered food for tomorrow, some did laundry, and some enjoyed wine and margaritas. The Pavillion was giving a light show and Spokane got a little much needed rain.
