Made it over the pass this afternoon and had a nice day by the lake. I handled the elevation pretty well - it's almost 5000 feet in Minden and over 6200 at the lake. I'd calmed my fears about temperature and distance, all that was left was elevation. We chugged up the pass without too much trouble, topping out at 7334 feet. (note - the 8 miles of 9% is what we had just come UP) So, if I could do that elevation and that distance and that grade without too much trouble, I should be ok with anything that awaits me. And remember, I get stronger and more adjusted every day!
