Days 2 and 3

Today was our second full day riding. Yesterday we were cruising along with the wind at our backs. We left at 9:15 finished our 52m by 1:30. Today we set out even earlier (830) and the wind was pushing itself against us and it rained and rained for the second half of the day. We pulled into Folsom at 3:15 having ridden 58.6m. We were wet wet wet, gritty, tired, hungry and very pleased with ourselves. We got ourselves dry, stretched and went out for a steak dinner. Of course, as is our duty, we told the waiter and manager about Brains on Bikes.

I am starting to feel a routine to our days. Early rising, a good breakfast and out on the rode. We pack a few bananas and sandwiches and water bottles and off we go. Tomorrow to Fair Play, CA and the beginning of our great assent begins.

That's all for now from the bike path.
