Chuck said that it was an absolutely beautiful and stunning day. It was in the 70 to 80's and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. He said he really enjoyed riding along the Yakima River and was amazed to see Mount Rainier out behind him and Mount Stewart in front of him. He said that it was so nice to be in the sun. The weather west of the Cascades has been just awful this year. People are calling June this year Junuary.
He stopped for lunch at Subway in Ellensburg and then felt his sandwich sitting heavy in his stomach during the climb out of Ellensburg. He said that there was a headwind going down the hill into Vantage so it was hard to get up past 30 mph even with pedaling. Dinner was a sit down, order off the menu meal, at Golden Harvest restaurant. He told me that Blustery's Restaurant is closed. He sounded tired but happy.
