Quick update: abandoning the cycling was the perfect decision.
We have spent the last week doing some awesome hiking that we would never have been able to do if we were biking all day. It has definitely been a great alternative to the bikes. Let me just say, this trip has been EPIC in nature. We set off in search of adventure, and that is exactly what we found (just not quite the adventure we anticipated
). We cycled through some incredible country, did some of the best hikes we have ever done, traversed a glacier, saw a ton of wildlife, and met fantastic people. We also learned quite a few valuable lessons along the way. Through all of the times where things felt like we should just go home early (there were several) we adapted, found a way around, and in the end, kept smiling.
That, in my book, is a successful adventure!
