Pine Creek, PA

Day 2 summary

Today was supposed to be an easier day. Most of the day was gentler terrain but there were a couple of sections of extreme rollers. These were a Half mile long descents followed immediately by a steep, steep climb of the same length. We got caught in two heavy showers. As a result my feet are in bad shape from being in wet shoes all day. I think they will be ok by tomorrow. We plan to get 3.5 hours of sleep and leave by 5:45. Tomorrow is about 190 miles with lots of tough climbs. We now get extra time so things are looking pretty good to complete the ride. Bed time.

Day 1 recap

This will be short-- need to get to sleep. Long hard day with lots of climbing. Worst section was last 35 miles. Relentless. Finished day with mike fox. Hoping to sleep until 3:15 and leave at 4.

Felt pretty strong all day but it still turned out to be a long day.
