Toughest day ever, mentally and physically. Huge climbs, interstate riding, flat tire, horrible head winds, horrible traffic, riding mostly alone. Eight days in and we need to rest!! I started at 6:30 am and by 4:30 pm I was only at mile 80, so I jumped in the van and shuttled in the last 25 miles. Tomorrow is a whole, entire, glorious day of rest!! We had a nice dinner at the El Tovar Lodge and after we were greeted outside along the rim walk back to cabins with a bunch of elk and a little raccoon family! I'll post the GC photos on facebook when I get a chance.
Wow! GC in the Fall! Enjoy! Or, you could hike down the Kaibab and up the Bright Angel . . .
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had all these lofty plans...and in reality had trouble just summoning up the energy to turn the pages of my book. Next year we can do the trip together, we'll be in such great shape, etc.
