What a huge day! Early start which turned out to be a great thing, but the road just after 7 am. After finally getting on the road early I stopped in Twisp for a little breakfast at the cinnamon twisp bakery. Had a breakfast bagel, coffee and their in house specialty the cinnamon twisp! The lady was great and got me one fresh from the oven, so good! I stocked up on baked goods then hit the road, riding like an animal!
I knew that the first thirty miles were going to be easy, a nice slow incline. Then there would be twenty miles of going straight up. You know though, I think my body turned to crystal because it never felt impossible. It was very hard and intimidating at times, but I ground it out! At the top I had run out of water (2 gallons worth!) and went to the scenic lookout to fill up. Only thing, there was renovation so no water! Thankfully there were some nice people that offered to fill up my bottles. Gotta love strangers!
Top of the mountain means a big downhill and I rode that. I went fast, it was great! It was almost thirty good miles of downhill. A couple little hills in there that I did not enjoy, but overall it was great!
