Yesterday’s ride took Erik, Nick, and I out west to visit an area that we’d only heard about and Erik was anxious to see, Fox Lake Road<\/a>. I was not disappointed, as the segment between Honert Rd and County Line Rd. \/ Washburn Rd. was some nice hills in the quite-attractive Ortonville Recreation Area<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Starting out from the Clarkston Road crossing of the Paint Creek Trail<\/a> we ended up around 69 miles for the day, and a moving time of just a smidge over 5.5 hours. This met my goal, but I seem to have failed to keep my heart rate high enough for some parts of the ride. For much of it (likely while climbing) I had it fairly high, but on the flatter segments (and likely longer downhills) it dropped lower than I should have kept it. Hopefully this’ll be okay… While tired I had enough energy left at the end of the ride yesterday to make a decent effort on the Miller Rd. hills, so hopefully I won’t have problems with next weekend’s 5.5 – 6 hour ride, and whatever comes after that…<\/p>\n

Here’s two more photos from yesterday:<\/p>\n
