Danny made me some super duper pancakes this morning, and instead of syrup, I put peanut butter on em. I knew I had big big hills in front of me so I got all the calories I could. It was sad to say goodbye to my new friend, what a great guy he is…I think he’s a saint, sent to rescue me from the road.

So, the hills were damn tough today. I had nightmares about them, everyone I met said the same thing, “Oh, you ain’t seen nothing yet, the hills get bigger and bigger.”

And they were right, these suckers were huge Colorado style mountains! This was definitely the hardest mountain day, not because they were so long, but because they were steep. My bike doesn’t like steep.

I made it up down, up down up down and then up and down again. I’m feelin great now, even tough my quads are shot. I have DC in my sights, only 200 miles to go, yeehaa!

Watch all the action here!
