Day 6 - 126km 8K feet of gain

So in the words of Beth, it was an EPIC ++ day. We rolled out at 10am and rolled in about 7pm. This did include 3 cafe stops, a lunch stop and of course a strudle stop.

We thought the ride would be a mellow three valley ride, but it was a mellow one valley ride with 2 HUGE passes the final summit at 6900 feet. That wasn't so bad until the nearly 4000 foot drop at dusk in shorts at a temperature of around 38 or 40 degrees. I'm now burried in down post a hot shower to warm myself.

Oh and I burned about 3700 calories and ate about 2K. I guess I can have gelato again tonight! Ill have some for you to Cindi.

Ciao!
