Cultus Lake ride – Century #3 Garmin Connect – Player.

Our third century training ride in preparation for the Seattle to Portland Classic July 14.

Weather was cool, and the course was dry for the most part – though we did hit some heavy mist for a couple miles near Cultus Lake.

I hadn’t been to Cultus in about 15 years, and man has it ever changed up there. Big props for the new, paved road from Vedder Road right to Cultus, including a nice bike lane.

Plenty of riders on the way back along Vye Road and especially 0 Avenue – we didn’t see anyone on the way out, but starting at 6 a.m. will do that.

The power of the group ride was evident again – we maintained an average moving speed near 20 mph for the first 4 hours.

After more than 210 miles last week, we drop down this week for recovery – a total 150 miles on the schedule, with 30 Saturday and 70 Sunday.

Just 33 sleeps until STP…
