Climb Every Mountain

It's been hard riding lately.  We've done +85 mile days since Saturday!  We are so warn out, but so happy that we've made it each day.  The days have felt especially long because we have climbed a lot of mountains lately.  We tend to get into camp just after dinner has started, exhausted and hungry.  Thank you again kitchen crew for your service to us all.  Here are a few

 photos from the summits- where we are feeling most glorious.

We are in Colorado now.  We are staying at the YMCA of the Rockies- which is cool because we were just here before this whole bike trip started.  And cool because there are so many Calvinites here as counselors and such.  Dave just ran into a prof from the Geography Department in the cafe!  I think it's going to rain on us all evening, but we're getting tough enough to handle that too.

We have an 80 mile day tomorrow with a 3000 foot elevation climb.  Just one more day and I think we'll be out of the mountains for a while.  Woo Hoo!  (We woo hoo a lot here- if it's a tough day, sometimes we even woo hoo for no reason at all.)
