Great Divide Day 5: Monday, July 4, 2016

We left Ferdale at 8:15 a.m. The first 4 miles were flat, but then we had an 8-mile uphill. Tough. Some good views though, and the downhill was longer -- a sour 10 miles. Anna disappears from me on downhills, often making videos as she rides. Tough for me to make movies with both hands on the breakers. The rest of today's route was a roller coaster. We ended with about 55 miles. Weather was perfect. Met another northbound rider from North Carolina who has been out for 37 days. We are tenting tonight. Hung out food in a tree to challenge the Bears. Bikes are working well, and the weather has been delightful.
