Another gorgeous day - probably hit 78 degrees, high clouds.
We all left the Ranch around 7:30 AM for a group shot at Zabriskie Point. To get there, you go 5 miles uphill, then up a really steep climb to an amazing overlook. There are 50 some of us in the group, and it was fun seeing all those bikes and colorful jerseys trying to compete with the devastatingly beautiful scenery of Death Valley.
After that, the group split up. Your choices were a 43-nile 'epic climb' of 15% for 4 miles (PASS), climb up toward Death Valley junction to the 3000 ft summit (Dave's choice), or continue on to the town of DVJ for a 60 mile roundtrip, and an additional 1000 ft of climbing (Pam's choice). Dave and I regrouped afterward for a hike in Golden Canyon, then we had our daily yoga on the lawn (I suck at yoga), followed by a wine and chocolate social. The days are just packed.
Nice jerseys guys :) You both look so coordinated. So how was that hill Dave! I would love to have been on that hill with you guys. I am glad the weather has turned out to be good for both of you. Pam, how can you say you suck at yoga. I have seen you do yoga and you are more than fine at it. I like the wine and chocolate social. You worked hard for that.
