100km!

So we did it. A few bad decisions turned our 80km day into a fraction short of 100.

There is a road know as 0 Avenue that parallels the US-Canada border. Looked charming based on our Google street view glances. Reality of it? Up and down. Over and over. Then as we neared the crossing, we read a sign telling us that no border access was available via that street, thus we had found out it was time to erase our climbing and reroute ourselves by an extra 7km.

It all wound up being worth it! We met our host, Sara, and she rode the final 10km with us to her house. She will be riding with us for as few days as we head into the Cascades.

The first night at her place was great! Her family took us in, had a steak dinner ready, and gave us a warm shower and a bed. Much more than we could have ever hoped for.
