Distance 123 miles ( 200 kilometers)
Climbing 8124 feet
Avg speed 17 mph
Total distance 3100 miles ( 5000 kilometers )
Less than 400 miles to go sounds pretty good to me at this point.
It feels as though I'm at the 20 mile mark of a marathon the end is in
site but the fatigue is really starting to set in, the mornings are the
very hardest part of the day just to get your legs going again,
especially when you know that there will be a lot of climbing like there
was today. Most of the climbs today were between 5 and 8 percent however
there was a series of climbs that were in excess of 12 to 14
percent. Tomorrow will be the biggest climbing day to date over ten
thousand feet and 110 miles. Lots of beautiful scenery again.
Today we passed a lunatic asylum and stopped
for some pictures. I had to chuckle as it sort of seemed ironic, a bunch of middle
aged bikers riding across America -- maybe we're the lunatics! Good thing we
didn't linger, as may have been committed ourselves! haha.
