1300m elevation climbed – 23km.
23 switchbacks.
Peak altitude 4800m (effectively at the top of Mt. Blanc).
At the top there were hugs and tears. Farid brought out the prayer flag and we all signed our prayers on it and then hung it with the thousands of other prayer flags.
Took 4hrs of cycling to get to the top and ten minutes to descend the other side! Peak speed, 67.1 on downhill. Average speed on the uphill, 6.1.
3526 calories burned.
Beautiful day to start and once we went over the top we had snow and sleet. Further 30km after the descent. Ouch. Very tough riding. 60km overall.
We are all pretty beat but also upbeat.
Dinner is mountain soup and chicken.
Congrats to the team! My spirit is with you- -it is the one screaming ” how much further “
Great pictures! Finally was able to log on. We have been following you guys, amazing! Love

Kudos…I guess I would rather sit on my MTB in Tibet now joining epic ride then holding out in the rain in still chilly GTA.
Hope you guys have a good and successful ride on!
OMG… you guys are amazing (and crazy too)!! Whose the hairy friend?
