Left the sofa by 7, had a quick fry up at the nearby diner then made my way out of town. Followed the scenic 12 to the Lola Pass. Long ascent although having left early meant i missed the heat. Fantastic descent along the river. Stopped off for lunch before parking my bike up and walking to the Jerry Johnson Hot Springs (natural). Had planned to camp nearby here but the site was shut. A guy i met at the springs recommended i find myself a spot in the woods 10miles down the road at weir creek which was not signposted.
Whilst trying to find weir creek i met a group also trying to do the same thing! We then ventured into the woods! Fantastic people same age as me, Matt, Greg & Kelsey from North Dakota ended up camping with them drinking their beer & cooking chicken on the campfire! Stayed up till late in the hot springs which was fantastic.
