The last team to do the trip, only 3\/17 made the pass on yesterday’s epic ride but we all made it!!<\/p>\n

5 degrees at start of day, peaked at about 12.<\/p>\n

Started a bit later this morning. Coffee at 730. While organizing, breaking down camp and getting ready I decided not to ride today – my URTI has settled a bit in my chest.

Dave, Dale and Mike went out riding. 800m climb and about 60km. The pass was just below 5000m. We again tied a prayer flag. Dale paid homage to his donor.<\/p>\n
