We got a fairly early stop today and after a brief steep plunge downhill to the river began about 2 kilometers of steady uphill on an otherwise lovely dirt path. It was one of those uphills that seemed to never end. Some of us hardly noticed it did–it gradually leveled out until all of a sudden we crossed a highway at about the halfway point and started some downhills.
A bit of a trudge, but we still made time to stop and pet the dogs.
Kayla found a friend! Every time she would back away he’d come right back for more.
Some good advice:
Sharing the road (even if we don’t want to): 
Almost there (we can practically taste lunch)! 
Decisions, decisions:
