Smokey Labor Day Ride

[easysuper]

Went for a 800 mile 3 day ride this weekend as I had just one more checkpoint on my RCMC Grandtour book to check off. My wife was out in Wisconsin for her Moms 101st birthday so my son and granddaughter went with me. We thought we could avoid the wildfires if we planed it correctly but we had some smoke issues to deal with. We stayed away from the fire zones as I'm not one to lookie Lou . We ended up with a fair ride but the temps were in the high 90's and reached 103 one time. We kept cool enough with our cooling vest and took many breaks and ended the day in the campground pool. My 13 year old granddaughter is a real trooper and can go all day on the Spyder with her dad.

We actually had some of that smoke haze here in southern WI too. Sure glad it wasn't that hot though. Best part of the year is upon us here in WI.
