A down hill day. 38 miles, 1,125 feet of elevation gain and 5,000 feet of elevation lost. Brenda’s average speed was 17.5.
Not a picturesque ride until we arrived at the Calaverra Big Tree State Park.
Temperature in Murphys is 90 degrees. Brenda and I were there in 2001 but soon left because of threatening forest fires.
Miles today = 38, Elevation gain = 1,125. Total miles = 1,201, Tot Elevation gain = 70,560
WHO’S RIDING? (BRENDA’S BIOS)
ROZ AND LARRY GIBEL (Albuquerque, NM) They have been married for 40 years and have known each other for 45 years. WOW!!! They produced 2 children, a son who is a documentary film producer and a daughter who is an actress. Neither child is married nor has produced any grandchildren, although the daughter is engaged. The kids live on both coasts and Roz and Larry are sort of central in New Mexico. Larry is an Urologist and worked as an Associate Professor at University of New Mexico Health Science Center. He also served in the capacity of Surgical Director of Kidney Transplant, also Medical Director of the Stateside Donor Program and for many years was the Chief of Urology at the Veterans Hospital. Roz’s training is in speech pathology and for many years worked with children with neurological developmental difficulties. Since moving to New Mexico 28 years ago she has worked as a free-lance travel agent which allows her to tailor her time to her meet her clients needs as well as her own needs. Larry retired a little more than 2 years ago. This Cascades-Sierra trip is their favorite of their 5 BAC rides.
