Day 4 started with waking up at 6:00 A.M., repacking all the tents, and getting breakfast which is all becoming more and more mechanical as we get into our morning rhythm. As a team we all scarfed down about 2 dozen eggs, and a box of sausages before we began our 78 mile ride. The ride turned out to be quite deceptive, we all thought the first 30 miles would be easy, a strong head wind and a flat tire on my end would disagree. Eventually, the headwind died down, but the ride did not decrease in difficulty. As the wind stopped pushing us back, gravity soon took its place as we began our 35 mile and 2400 foot assent. It was tough but the 12 miles of downhill soared by as we were greeted by fellow cyclists into the lovely town of Republic. It was a great day, and after 3 days of mountains and climbing everyone is looking forward to a day off.
