Day Three: Deer Pass

Luckily we talked to some other people in the camp who have done this trip before. They told us that it is pretty long so we were kind of prepared ...

Some of the challenges, Kerstin crossing a river.

Other challenges: Finding the route. Actually it is pretty easy to find directions in the Chilies.

Deer Pass

Keep on riding uphill, I think we were already on the road / trail for 4 hours.

Getting higher and higher.

At some stage it just got too steep.

View back.

On the Col, peace Andrew!

And now the downhill starts. Even so we were in a pretty remote area there were other people. This group actually stayed at the same camp ground and we saw them here and there during the 4 days.

Big country.

Kerstin riding downhill.

Back in the valley after one hour riding down.

It got already a bit late so we had some amazing light.

The sun is going down.

Kerstin on the last uphill section. I think we were on our bikes now for 10 hours or so at this point.

One of my favourite pictures, Kerstin riding back towards our camp.

Back at camp after 11 hours :-). Don't need to say much. I am proud of you, that was a hard and long tour, probably one of the longest rides I have done.

A beer on the lake to finish the day ...

Next day: Day 4
