Day 9 – The most beautiful long-span bridge in the world!

Back on the bike: the rest of the day consisted of about 15 climbs of 300-500 ft. of elevation, each followed by descents. The ups and downs wore us out physically and mentally.

Well caffeinated, we headed uphill- steeply at first- toward Sherman Pass (Elevation 5,575 ft. ) with about 3,000 ft. of elevation gain. As we gained elevation under blue skies, we saw ponderosa pines, Douglas firs, western larches, then true firs in dense forests.

Today we gained 6,500 ft. of elevation over 70.4 miles in 10.5 hours. My rear end hurts.
