Ovando to Lincoln: 33 miles, 7.9.12

Daren the Dictator dictating here-- while Sarah types.  Daren recommends starting this blog: "Sarah rides too fast, she won't wear a camel back, and her geisha make-up is ALL wrong."**  

Note zombie make-up as he puzzles over the GPS



We went up the flats from Ovando and were passed by a guy fully loaded with front and rear panniers.  Not willing to be shown up, we had to pass him back as quickly as possible.  We had a 2000 foot climb over 6 miles that passed relatively uneventfully, except for one wrong turn (Daren).  

It was a scorcher of a day so we had to stop once and pump fresh stream water.  The descent into Lincoln allowed Daren to break the speed limit (Sarah's a MUCH safer/less-experienced rider and can't take the downhills so fast).  We closed the ride with a fox sighting and rolled into RV central where we had full services including wifi.

See? We don't even look tired.






**Daren & Jody call their whiter-than-plaster-sunscreened-faces "zombie make-up".  Sarah opts for a more pleasing connotation... "BEAUTIFUL Geisha..."
