I've been having an awesome time ever since I got down from Lassen. Yesterday, despite the foggy adventure, I managed to get in 80 miles and ended the day going through the Feather River Canyon - my map actually had a note to consider taking a bus as there is no shoulder and logging truck traffic - but I checked with a local bike shop and they said the trucks don't run on Saturday, and traffic would be light overall. They were correct and the ride was spectacular.
Today I was focused like a laser on getting to Truckee, 82 miles away (and lots of uphill in between). Four days ago I looked at the map and thought I should be in Truckee in four days. The first two were relatively lackluster, but yesterday's miraculous milage put me in range today. It was a lovely day, mostly climbing through the forest, and I am happy to report that I am writing this while waiting for a pizza in lovely Truckee, California.
