The next day dawned bright and beautiful. Mary and I took advantage and went for a lovely paddle on Kents Lake. We saw many trout feeding in the weed beds and an Osprey hunting said fish.
Glassy!
Later we joined our friends Ben & Ann for a hike above Puffer Lake.
Elephant Head flowers. Slightly past prime but still stunning!
More wonderful high country meadows.
We very much wanted to reach the ridge just above us, but the lightning was just too close so we headed down.
Ann had the sharp eye and spied these mountain goats.
Glad we had binoculars!
A couple of couple pics!
Next morning was the start of The Crusher in the Tushar bicycle race. After toeing the line five straight years, I was happy to fill the role of helper/spectator/cheerleader.
My buddy Bob rolled by the campground near the leaders in his category.
Shannon paced himself at the start and enjoyed the scenery.
Ann and her superdomestique Ben spin through with smiles.
Mary and I then headed to the finish to greet our friends. Shanno finishes strong breaking the six hour mark.
Bob battled cramps on the Col de Crush but gutted it out and finished with a smile.
Ben and Ann paced themselves well but had to endure a deluge during the last half hour.
