Bike Ride to Bishop

Lone Pine to Bishop: 62.1 miles

Total mileage: 3589.7

This morning we woke up under the starts; our decision not to put up tents and to sleep on the concrete slabs was a great life decision. We ate another bomb hot breakfast of biscuits, eggs and fruit oh and did I mention coffee.

This morning I headed out with five ladies: Susan, Kristin, Steph, Arden and Jessie. After quite a laugh feat a dinner we figured we would have a great time on the road today. We left right ahead of sweep because Susan needed to change a tire before we headed out. The ride was sure pretty as we continued to follow the Sierras and the Inyo mountains.

After the lunch stop the tailwind kicked in again and we were making really good time towards the host. We were going to try and stop at some hot springs, but unfortunately the admission was a bit more than we were willing to spend.

We were pretty hungry when we hit the town so we went in search of lunch. After doing a quick tour of the town, Steph, Kristin and I decided to double back to Schat's Bakery. The line was crazy and after what seemed like an eternity we were finally at the front of the line. It was worth the wait because the sandwiches were huge and just what we needed.

That night dinner crew was at it again and tonight was Bike and Build chili. We were all set and ready to start cooking when we realized that the leaders had forgotten to get any of the ingredients we needed. The only thing we had in the bins was six cans of beans which would NOT feed our group. We also opted for pasta instead of rice because every other dinner crew except for one has burned the rice beyond repair. Despite the late start dinner was another smash success.
