Day 2: From Easton to Vantage, WA: 76 miles
Today we rode through a beautiful national forest lined with amazing smelling pine trees, old railways, a running river, and the snow capped cascades peaking through the background. It was absolutely stunning and once again did not feel like I was in the US. With the wind at our backs and a nice downhill, we rode over 22mph for the first 17 miles. Then we began a long 15 mile gradual climb and was definitely not the short steep hills I am used to. I’m feeling a bit sore and think tomorrow will be a challenge. I was so thankful to be riding with another girl, Jenny, because the climb was sage fields for 15 miles. So all though it smelled wonderful, it was incredibly boring and difficult so it was nice to chat with someone to pass the time
