Breakfast was "continental" - pastries, cold cereal, juice, and
coffee. These were the carbs we didn't get last night, but, in
combination with last night's non-dinner, it didn't bode well for a
long day on a bike, especially with only one sag, at mile 38.
However, it wasn't a bad day at all. A little suggestion of a
sprinkle first thing in the morning, and again around noon. The
3000-foot climb that looked so daunting on the profile was long, but
not steep.
The landscape at the eastern end is kind of weird and alien, with
abrupt cliff faces and balancing rocks and such.
