CDT Day 48: Double Zero in Silverton

ByPurple Haze Posted on

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 808.8

I woke up on the Silverton fireworks hill and found I was not alone. A fair number of people sleeping in or near their cars.

I beat most of the crowds to a big breakfast at Brown Bear Cafe. Had a look around town, checked into the motel and started my chores. I did take a timeout to watch the World Cup final.

I found my old car in Silverton! It was not for sale.

Always a good dinner at the Handlebar Saloon, this time a prime rib. Had a nice chat with a young woman who is running in next week’s Hard Rock 100. She ordered one of Handlebar’s specialties, a huge serving of supposedly potent bread pudding. Then a young man who is a volunteer for the race to better his chance to participate in a future race, ordered a heaping bowl of peach cobbler and ice cream. These runners seem as calorie deficient as I am. Both started our conversations by asking if I was running in the Hardrock 100. Must have lost more weight than I thought! I really enjoyed the bread pudding.
