Some great views!
Also, those hills look rough

Many of the hills are some of the toughest you can do in this area, with anywhere from 9-15% grade. For reference, an average grade for a cycling trip up a mountain is like 6%. Many times I was in my biggest cassette gear, just grinding out the hill at like 3-6mph, panting like I was dying, and considering the 95F temps, 80% humidity, and blinding sun, I was probably coming close to dying lol

It was definitely a super hot, humid weekend here. Luckily we had SAG support for all three rides, with many support stops within 10 miles of each other. Still, on the 67-69 mile ride I went through six 20oz bottles of water, two 32oz Gatorade’s, six or seven cookies, two bananas, and a full lunch. It was brutal.

I don’t think 26 is the right number

6 or 7 cookies ? that's like a snack before a snack.
