04-30-2016 Ride & Hike

Posted long afterwards.  Rode in the morning over to Dave's house.  I headed past the park and over the pedestrian bridge to get over to BVP, which I took up to Sunset Dr.  Then to Juniper St, where I turned and took it all the way to Washington Ave before turning left there and riding over to Centre City Pkwy.  From there it was the normal way to his place, but I stopped my ride there.  I can only guess that weather kept us from riding, and maybe I got a ride back home with Jim.

Avg speed = 15.0 mph. Total mileage = 10.8 mi
Total elevation gain = 560'

Later in the morning, I went with Ann to Mission Trails Park to hike to the top of Cowles Peak and Pyles Peak in the same day.  I remember that this was a big effort, particularly for Ann.  We had missed when the church group hiked these peaks, so we did it on our own.  We made it to both summits successfully, but it wore us down and I was cranky at the end.  Ann and I went afterwards to the park office and got our certifications for having completed the peaks challenge.  Ann bought a commemorative t-shirt, as I recall.  She wanted to have dinner out on the way home, but I was too tired, so we went directly home instead.

Total distance = 6.19 mi
Elapsed time = 3:54:41
