Sierra Cascades – 8/31/2013 – Yreka to McCloud

 

Even though we could see Mt Shasta a lot today, the light was never right for a good photo.  In fact it looked like a day devoid of decent photos so I took a picture on grass growing by the side of the road. The other photo was on the first climb.

On paper, TODAY'S RIDE did not appear too difficult and both Brenda and I thought it was moderate, but others are complaining of tired legs.  This is probably a result of 13 day’s riding.

It’s looking more and more as if we’re not going to be able to complete this ride due to the Rim Fire near Yosemite. I know that the tour leader is considering options and we should know more in a day of two.  My guess is that the 24 day ride will be an 18 day ride. Stay tuned.
