Bike: Today was another short day. We actually slept in a little late today which was nice. Sara and Seema decided to be sweet so I rode with the tandem, Mark and Alyssa. It was awesome, we went about 22 mph average for the first 10 or so miles. We were on the bike path so it was pretty easy. Around mile 12 we ran into a gondola and we decided to check it out. Eytan had thought of the same thing and had already talked to the guy about group rates. It was $8 each down from $13 so I waited for Sara and we went up with a bunch of other people. It was well worth it just for the views. It was also fun going up a huge mountain with out any effort. Alyssa and Mark had decided not to go so they continued on and afterward I rode alone. Not far down the bike path I actually caught up with them again because they had stopped to enjoy a wonderful scenic river view. We continued on and once we hit the highway my back tire blew and I had to throw on another one. The "4th of July Pass" wasn't hard and the next thing we knew we were at the church. We all quickly decided to go cliff jumping and swimming at the lake and we headed out. After a long and hot hike though the woods we came to an awesome rock about 36 feet high, I measured it. It was sweet because the only way to get up it was to rock climb up the back. I jumped first with Lauren's waterproof camera to take pictures. When Lauren finally climbed up to the top it took her about an hour or more to jump! It was pretty funny. The lake and area are just amazing to look at and I'll try to put some pictures up that try to capture the view. Tomorrow we are getting up early, 5 am, and riding 42 miles to Spokane because tomorrow is also a build day. So we want to get there before 9 am to build. The day will also bring out final and last state boarder crossing!!! Washington here we come!!
Build: Build day tomorrow!!! Sweet!
Ride on!
