Swim/Cycle Series #4: Heron Lake

Where: Heron Lake
What: Open water swim (~1 hr.) + Bike (~2 hr.)
When: Sunday, Jul. 26
Time: 8 a.m.
Optional: camp out Saturday

Since Cochiti was so bloody hot last weekend and started out with dubious air quality, I propose changing venues and heading up to Heron. We'll aim for a Sunday morning swim/ride, as well as a Sat ride for those that show up early. We may be there Fri p.m., so give me a heads up if you want to meet for a ride. T-mobile service will invariably be spotty.

Lake Heron is ~90 miles north on the 84.

Here's the campground map: (I believe campsites were $8/night, cash only)

And estimated water temp.

Rachael's excellent report from last year's Heron trip.

Unless there is a better suggestion, the east side of Willow Creek seemed like a good set of campsites and swim start point. More details to come on carpool location/time. I recall a substantial distance from supplies/beer, so definitely stock up.

Good luck to all of the participants this weekend! Santa Fe, Mountain Man, Vineman!!!!
