Day 16

Today was a hard, hard day of cycling.  When you cycle 21.9km/hr it takes 6hrs28 mins of saddle time to travel 142 km.  that's a long, long time.  We left at 7:30 and were in camp by 4:10.  You can tell that because I'm doubling my words, I am very very tired.

Check out this elevation graph: 

This graph tells us that we climbed uphill 5884 feet, and only went downhill approximately 3784 feet.  I took most of those hills at 11km /hr.  

BUT, you know what the cool part was? We finished it.  Not everyone did. There were a lot of people who had to take SAG in, and I understand why.  It was a hard day. 

Here are some cool pictures from our grind.  You can see that the scenery is improving from our desert dashes.
