We saw this cliff from the side of the road and decided it would be fun to climb, so... we climbed it.

Let the climbing begin/feel the burn
On Saturday morning me and a bunch of other guys decided to get up at 4:30 and get on the road before 6 because the day was debatably the hardest day of the tour. Thats right the moon is in the background and its still dark... I dont suggest it, it was freezing cold and deffinitely not worth it. Funny tho. The day was murder, with the detours of getting lost and going to a church on the way it ended up being 175km with about 6,000ft of climbing most of which was at the end of the day, this combined with a very hot day made for a brutal day. With about 10km left i did what they call "bonked" in biking terms, essentialy i didnt eat enough during the day and my body ran out of energy. I was dizzy and had no energy left. I struggled the next 10km to camp and then i sat on a picnic table for an hour before i did anything. I was drained. Lucky for me i got the next day off to recoup.

at least on those hard days you come back and you know, that no matter how difficult it was, you did it. and that must feel good.
i enjoy your updates! keep them coming!
SO how did the 23rd go ......... ??
It was supposed to be your longest day but then it sounds like a few have been longer than planned .....
Looking at the map and reading your comments are a great education.
Keep going! Mrs L
Hockey Crazy - Im not much of a writer as you probably already noticed in my sentance structure and the like.
Lairds - The 23rd ended up getting split up so that the days around it got longer and it got a little shorter, its a good thing because it would have been rediculously hard. Instead yesterday ended up being a really hard day. We ended up riding around 160km. That was one of the hardest rides of the tour for me.
