Today I swept with Ashton. It was both of our last sweep day of the summer and we spent ample time talking about how close we were to the end of the trip. Then we got over it and kept riding.
It was a really great ride, but it was super windy. Around mile 26 we hopped in with a group so that the wind wouldn't be so bad, but that only lasted a few miles before we ran into someone with some flats. When we got to lunch, several folks were nappin, so I curled up under the table for shade and we waited an hour and a half for nippers to wake. Luckily, they let us ride with them for the rest of the day. Right after lunch, there was a mountain, and I was afraid that we had lost that group and would have to fight winds all day, but when we rounded the corner and saw the top, they were all there and my heart melted.
Lots of downhill until the very end where we did 5.5 miles uphill to the ranch where we would be staying.
Super nice ranch with BEDS where they provided burgers n such for dinner. I fell asleep at 8:45 in a hammock and woke up at 11 long enough to grab my sleeping bag (it was super cold). So much for beds.
