Up and up I go. I stop every mile for a breather and a water break. At this point I'm really starting to feel the burn in my legs. I probably needed another day of rest after biking Lewis River but that's okay, it's a good day to be out and about on a bike, regardless of how I'm feeling.

A little respite from the long, slow climb. It even comes with a nice view.

More climbing.

And more climbing.

Oh my God, I think I'm in hill climbing hell! The hills come at me in a seemingly infinite cycle of right and left turns. It all looks the same to me, I think maybe dehydration is setting in?
