Day 42 Aug 7 Tue Sheridan to Silbey Lake 42 miles

Got up early as usual, took my time packing things, maybe because i knew what was waiting for me.

I rode around the city a little and decided to stop at the library for a couple hrs, it's funny because the 3 homeless men i met at the park  waved to me there.

When i came out a flat tire was waiting for me, bomber.

I got on the road at 1pm, it took me 3 hrs just to get to Dayton 25 miles distance, head on wind.

From Dayton the climb began, at the beginning it was not very steep after about 3 miles 8% grade began all the way to the top. After 4hrs and 15 miles the fun was over, my knees took a little beating but it felt good to have it behind me.

I found a campsite not too far from the top, two guy offered to let me set up my tent  on their site  so i don't have to pay, plus they gave me food and whiskey, nice ending to a tough day :)

After 2 hrs I wouldn't mind if it was over :)
