Hi Everyone!
Today was another glorious day! It was a bit cooler than the past two days, and we had a little head wind, which made it a bit tougher than the past two days. Also, with the miles accumulating, I was dragging a bit today. We had roughly a 1200 foot climb today, which also slowed me down. We had a nice long flat bike trail that we rode on for the first 33 miles, the rest was a gradual climb. It is a climb that is preparing us for tomorrow. We have a 5000 foot climb over Donner's pass! I have to wake up at 4:45 in the morning to get on the rode at 5:15!
We stopped by a beautiful lake, Folsom lake, and yes, Folsom prison is near by, and we passed by the prison. That makes three we passed so far! LOL.
Auburn is a great little town that we stopped and ate lunch at. The rest of the afternoon, has just amounted to a lot of napping and getting mentally prepared for tomorrow. Weather for tomorrow is unpredictable, so I packed my warm stuff while still keeping my pack light!
Even I can tell, my tone has changed just a bit since the past two days. The next two days is going to part of the "challenge" in this cross country challenge. Will write more tomorrow! Gotta get a long nights sleep! Ha ha... this is a first, that I am actually going to bed at 9:00 pm!!! :)
