The Highest Elevation
Today we climbed to 8228 feet above sea level, the highest point on this trip. This was the hardest ride I have ever done, but the beautiful scenery along the way and the spectacular panoramic view from the top was more than worth it. It was just a matter of gearing down, riding slowly, making lots of stops, and hoping for a tailwind. Eva rode with me, and we caught up with Greta and Ruth part way up. We each had to stop when we wore out, but we stayed fairly close. I was positively euphoric when I reached the top.
OMG...
ReplyDeleteI can understand the euphoria of reaching a new high....and also the agony of striving to push toward that goal...pedalbypedalbypedal.
Makes me want to train again for a marathon walking race...can't imagine what it's taking for you to do this on a bike.
Keep going, Marge!! You've got lots of prayer & support with you.
