Ride from Eatonville, Wa to Longmire, Wa.
This morning i woke up feeling a little more refreshed from the ride up to Mt Rainiers Ranger station at Longmire. Saturday hit 94 degrees in the middle of the day as I struggled back to my car.
here are the stats
67.16 miles
4:00:04 hours
16.7 avg
32 Max
one greasy cheeseburger, side of fries and a Pepsi
one double scoop Cookie Dough waffle cone
five bottles of water ( some drank others applied to surface area on arms head and legs)
the canopy in Mt Rainier offered some respite from the heat, and the elevation also added to cooler temperatures, but there was no avoiding the last 10 miles as I struggled in 94 deg heat, at 2 PM.
to my advantage it was all down hill, except for one section which i have named "One More Hill"
a desparate climb away from the lake between Alder and Elbe left me withered.
this was a day of challenges.
I left an elevation of 820 ft at eatonville
and reached 2764 ft elevation at longmire
thats all for now
