Louise and I got out of the house early and drove to Lyle with our bikes. We rode up Hwy 142 which follows the Klickitat River. It was a beautiful ride with very little traffic - and all but two of the vehicles that did pass us were very considerate. We saw a couple of kyakers - a boat of fishermen - & someone in hip-waders out fishing in the river. The ride is 20 Miles out and then return, so almost 65km by the time you get to the parking lot.
After re-loadiing our bikes, we drove to White Salmon and had lunch at Everybody's Pub. The food was delicious - but there was too much of it....
From there, we drove down to the Event site and found people out foiling. I rigged my 7.0 and Infinity Wing, but as I was heading to the water, Joe was coming out and told me that I would be way overpowered on the 7. I rigged the 6.0 and went out. I am not sure if it was being tired from biking, or the food and beer at Everybody's, or maybe a bit of heat stroke, or a combination of everything, but I really struggled to make it work - especially in the gusts. I had some great crashes!
I came back in to rest and re-hydrate and went back out again after an hour or so, but the wind had almost completely died by that point and I didn't get the foil working.
Oh well - great day anyway!
