On paper, this day should have been similar to yesterday's fiasco of a ride. Today was 42 miles and 6300 feet of climbing with a 2000 foot hill climb on the back half of the day. In reality, today was roses compared to yesterday. I know a lot of it had to do my better attitude (I kept channeling Drew's positive energy "Just keep pedaling!", and with being better recovered today, but the trails were also a lot more fun and rideable. Also, we only went to 10,500 feet instead of 12,000+.

Whatever the case, I finished in a respectable 5 hours and 57 minutes. I think I was 5th in my cat.
Drew had a rough day today, most likely because my coughing kept him up last night. We will remedy tonight. Andy flatted and that cost him some time. Brad was strong and steady as always.
We've now completed 4 days of this endeavor. The end is in sight!
