Friday, May 20th .... Today's ride was taxing and mentally tough.  The first 22 miles were a constant   1-3% climb.  The balance was somewhat like a roller coaster except we went up more than we came down!  There were some areas where the slope was as high as 10%.  The wind was very strong and was a cross wind on some of the longer downhill stretches.  Great scenery but a mental grind due to me being tired and my legs feeling the 500 miles in the past 7 days.  Did a stumble and fall at the end but just a scraped knee.
