I would rather bike across America than:
Brie:
1) Run a marathon or even a half marathon
2) Skydive
3) If only doing this could guarantee me from never seeing a spider or bug larger than a fly again.
4) Go to outer space
5) Scuba dive
6) Spelunking
Josh:
1) Get a tattoo or piercing
2) Go clothes shopping
3) Watch Napoleon Dynamite
4) Eat oysters
5) If only doing this would ensure the extinction of poison ivy
6) Get a B on an exam
In other news we biked our highest peak yesterday, Hoosier Pass at 11,539 feet. It was a 78.5 mile day with 4,000 feet of climbing. Our original plan was to spend the night in Breckenridge, CO and then attack the pass the next morning. However, the forecast called for snow and rain the next day and we had already heard of a biker getting frost bite on the pass the week before. We muscled through the last of the climb and got to the top right when the sun was setting behind the peaks.
Jake Report Day 39:
Miles: 47.5, time on bike: 3h 51m, average: 12.0, weather: cool, scattered rain/snow, tailwind, total miles: 1,935
