Pine Flat Ride

Posted by katymoe on March 6th, 2010

A couple weeks ago my riding buddy Katie and I rode up to Pine Flat Lake.  We started at Shaw and Academy.  I had a three hour ride with a one hour tempo on the schedule. So we hammered out Belmont Ave. to the climb up to the lake.  Once at the lake, we just cruised and enjoyed the views!

This is one of my favorite rides to do, especially during the spring!  All the wildflowers are blooming!  The water is calm and beautiful.  There are rolling fun hills all around the lake, and challenging hills up to and out of the lake.

The first climb out from the lake is a doosey.  It’s only about 1 mile long, but it is very very steep.  The last time I was riding up this hill, I was going about 6 mph, I passed some cows just sitting on the side of the road, I scared a baby cow and the momma took a few steps towards me!  I panicked, what if she charged me!? I was going 6 mph….I felt like I was standing still! 🙂 Katie and I laughed about this story the whole way up.  When we stopped at the Forrest Service Station at the top we saw this.

He was basking in the sun!  Katie and I cracked up thinking of the possibilities of him charging us.  Then I made Katie ride by again so I could get pictures of her!

Our final climb of the day was up the back of Wildcat.  Wildcat is a well known difficult climb in this area (the front not the back).  We stopped for some fuel, fluid, and photos.

    I’m very disappointed you didn’t try to ride the cow. That’s a missed opportunity right there…
