The long way to Birch

Today me and Don decided to take the long way to Birch for a ride.We started in Portage at 9 am and rode south .We decided to take the gravel route which went mostly south but zig zaged west a few times .The place we came in at was the back of snow valley where the nice cabin is.Then we rode some trails and did some climbs.I could really feel it in my legs today ( too much riding this week ).It will be nice to take a day off or maybe two.Don was real strong today which is nice to see.My wife was there to pick us up at the ski club house which was sweet (thanks honey bunny).All in all we did just over 70km.
