Weekend Review
We live in an area that gets a lot of tourists on summer weekends, so there are some places that are best visited on Sunday late afternoon, when the tourists have packed up. Cooper Lake is one of those places. While Beth played on her stand-up paddleboard, I rode my gravel bike for an hour. I'm still learning how to ride gravel and I'm getting better but I'm still not accustomed to going so much more slowly than on my road bike. I rode only 8.5 miles in an hour, though that included 1,100 ft of ascent. My normalized power was 209 which is pretty good for me.
Earlier in the day we caught a fawn peaking in our kitchen glass door before we headed to the deck to have a video call with our son and daughter.
