Elevation gain: 6100 ft
Today was a huge day in many ways. First, we only have one more long day of riding. So it felt important to me to do the whole day. There was a lot of climbing. One climb was 7.1 miles. The slope was fairly gradual for 5 miles and then became a lot steeper. But it was relentless with many false summits. Of course the good side of all that was the downhills after the climbs. Again the skies were cloudy which kept the heat down.
Leaving Albany was not much fun. The roads were under construction and the drivers were not very nice. I was very glad to get out of town. However there was a lot of traffic most of the day.
I find it so hard to believe the trip is almost over. Just one more day of long riding. It seems like we have really jelled as a group the last couple of weeks. It will be an emotional day tomorrow and Friday.
