Today we rode from Eatonville to Paradise to get in an 80+ long ride that included a mountain pass. I was super nervous going into it because I was concerned that I would not be able to make it but Ruth's enthusiasm carried me through -- and up. Frankly I kicked that mountain's ass!

Once we got to the top though, it started to rain and we had a wet, cold and very miserable descent. By the time we hit Longmire, Ruth had a meltdown because she could not get warm. With dry socks, and bit of a rest, we finished the ride and the sun even came out for us. It was a very very long day...
