214 miles (5968 ft climbing), 12:47 hours 18.6 mph
Fine day of riding today, the closest to a ‘recovery day” you get on a tour like this. Greg and I rode with a great group of people all day in pleasant conditions i.e. no snow, sleet, headwinds etc.. and only a moderate amount of climbing. It was just what I needed after yesterday’s epic effort.
Bob sat out the day and drove along the route with Lon, showing up at various sag stops and our lunch stop. He should be back on the bike tomorrow for at least some of the day.
I was worried going into today as on paper it could have been a tough one to finish in daylight but all turned out great. Still on EFI (“Every F…g inch”) status with 2 other guys going into the last four days.
