We arrive at the lunch stop

The bikes wait by the fence for us to finish our meal

Being careful not to have too much Ty and I eat fairly quickly then take off for the big climb of the day. This is the hill you plan your gearing around. On paper it doesn't look imposing but it is because of the road surface, a very challenging hill.

I was able to ride everything on day one and two without stopping and walking. I feel pretty good about that.

This is probably 1st and last time I'll do it fixed. It was a great challenge but you do miss out on the fun of flying down the hills. Next year the Singer gets the call.
