Ups and Downs (Gunnison, CO)

*Journal to come

Bike odometer: 2424 miles










Melanie spying out our route from the first water stop










Starting the big climb of the day up Monarch Mountain (Liz, Anita, Ryan)










Going up the mountain (looking backwards)--an 18-mile climb with at least 10 miles at 6% grade (phew)













Summit!!! Likely to be our highest elevation of the trip...for some reason I felt so good after this climb










Hit our second continental divide at the same spot










Yay summit (Anita, me, Liz)










Check out the downhill! (me)
