Damascus - Breaks Interstate Park
78 miles
7 hours and 5 minutes in the saddle
38 mph max speed - new speed record
10.9 mph average speed
weather: cool and overcast, great cycling weather
Todays ride has been long and tough. We did a 3.7 mile climb to Hayters Gap, we thought the hill would never end. For every uphill is a downhill, and the one after Hayters Gap was great.
Today we have seen some new birds. They have been bright yellow with small patches of black. We have also seen a bright red wood pecker (it might be some other type of bird, our ornithology knowledge leaves a lot to be desired).
Tonight we are staying at Breaks Interstate Park. It is a fantastic location, with views across what is the largest canyon east of the Mississippi. The canyon is 5 miles long and 1600 feet deep.
