Day 3 of the Bike Trip
On the third day of our journey, we first rode through a long stretch of flat road, only to find ourselves climbing thousands of feet after midday. Thankfully, we traveled through some great places. We encountered all sorts of farm animals, such as cows, deer, and a bunch of horses. We reached a place called Loup Loup Pass for lunch, the highest point of our day’s trek. At about 4,000 feet above sea level, the climb had pretty much tired us out. At this pass, there was a little camera that took photos of the pass intermittently. It was fun for everyone back home to be able to see us at the pinnacle of our climb. From there on out, the ride was pretty simple. We had a great downhill ride for about 12 miles and then had 20 miles to ride on flat ground. Although it was a little discouraging to have to go that extra bit, we managed to get to the campsite in good time. Once we got to the campsite, we enjoyed a quick dunk into the river which was filled with mud, sticks, and other assorted nasties (and smelled like manure, says sarah). The camp was great! We had some neighbors that were very interested in our trip and the facilities were great. All in all, day 3 was a great day and the last 30 miles were fast.
