On the Ranch

Weekend before last, I tested the fit and function of a new jersey we’re offering for 2012 in the Sierra’s outside of Bishop — a little out-n-back up toward Lake Sabrina. This descent is rated as one of the Top 10 Descents in America by Bicycling Magazine (4,577 feet over 15.39 miles). I wondered why. It’s long and steep enough to fly but gradual enough with big sweeping turns to relax and enjoy the speed. Plus, looking down into the grand desert valley below with the White Mountains in full view is spectacular. Breathtaking.

I wore our Dude Girl GiddyUp Knickers, Armwarmers and Vest and found both perfect for our ride. I kept my GiddyUp Armwarmers and Vest in my back pockets most of the time, but it’s nice to have them if you need them and there is almost no reason not to carry them, as they are small and light. We have a new shipment of black GiddyUp Knickers and our GiddyUp Armwarmers ready for the taking but in limited supply. Now is the time to get yours — they won’t last long.

Post ride, we found ourselves at Schat’s Bakery, and meant business when we tore our first hunk of Jalapeno Cheese Bread. Moist, chewy, hefty. Wish it was organic, but the way they tout the Bishop water used in all their baking, you’d think Schaat’s bread will cure your ills! We felt pretty good.

Oh, and don’t miss a dunk in the hot springs — there are many throughout Owen’s Valley. Go hunting for your favorite. After graduating college, I learned of these on numerous climbing trips with my good friend and climbing partner, Hugh Driscoll. Whenever I pass through the area, I always try to soak. The grandeur surrounding my favorite rustic tub is immeasurable. Dramatic. All seems right from the vantage point of the Tub.
