Total Ascent: 2425
So today we started out with the temperture at 27-28 degrees with a high fog. Cold? You bet I had everything on that I brought with me and what I bought in Tahoe. It stayed cold throughout the ride never really warming up until we arrived in Graeagle.
Graeagle is a cute little spot on the road and is well known for its golfing. There is a bike shop in town and we all conversed on it. The owner did a fabulous business today. The shop was actually closed for the day but a friend was working on his bike and helped us all.
The route itself was very pretty. Some climbing for us as what would a day without climbing be. But the route went through a beautiful valley with creeks, wonderful meadows, nice homes and cattle. We came upon some cows and yaks in this one area. I have to show you a picture of the cow that wanted attentionn. Everytime I tried to take a picture of the Yak the cow would move in front of him. So I promised the cow I would take hs picture if he would allow me to take a picture of the Yak :-)
We rode over the Little Truckee River ... not to be confused with the Truckee River that we rode next to on the bike trail yesterday (I didn't take a picture)

Leftover dirty snow on the side of the road - I hope this is all we will see.
Snow Plants - they normally bloom after a snowfall.
Once again a climb to the summit only this one has no name. Its in Plumas County.

The back of the car filled with water and all our goodies to eat on the road.
Kat - our rider/sag driver. Without her help we would have a hard time making it on our own. She knows where we are at all times. If we stop for coffee or lunch we call her and let her knowwhere we are. Our sag drivers are the best!
