Weds. June 14; Day 18; 40 miles; 80

Had a nice 5 mile downhill on pavement to begin the day.  The rest of the day was up and down mountains in that nine-10 thousand foot elevation range. Gasp, gasp, gassed! We were able to get water from rivers and streams, but our food is short.  Several former resupply sources on the route have closed. We did not check current upgrades to the map. Bad bikers. It will be a trick to find enough calories to make it to our next resupply. We travelled some beautiful landscape today- prime forest, vast open hillside fields, snow still in swales and north slopes, elk, bulls in velvet, mountain backdrop. Spiritual, connected, grateful. Take care.
