One of our biggest climbs and our first Continental Divide crossing awaits us today, almost right out of the gate this morning... Total miles today will be only like 24, but something like 15 of those will be straight climbing (yeah, I know.. What's fifteen miles some of you scoff...those who've done RAMROD or the like, or even the Mt. baker Hill Climb). But it'll be formidable, what with our gear, food to last us through tomorrow lunch, and a growing grade/ascent from 5 percent... to 10 percent the last 2 miles.
We're trying to catch up with ourselves in this diary and posted a couple more days last night-- dating them accordingly (so those of you signed up to get notices when we post might not have gotten the memo). But those posts are here now.
Here we go...! Alaine -- and Paul
