Today was a hard day, 76 miles and over 6600 ft of elevation gain. Final climbed topped out at 11,350, this was the second major CO pass. Then a thrilling scarey descent of 2800 ft in about 7 miles. I had to stop about 4 times just to rest my fingers from from pumping the brakes, also wanted to let the brakes cool off so I would not burn them up, I was starting to smell my brakes. Not sure what tomorrow will bring. The support van got totalled late this afternoon, hit a deer. The support van carries all the luggage as well as the food and water for the day. Don't really care right now, my favorite part of each day has become going to bed which I am going to do right now.
