July 1, Day 2 – Sultan to Leavenworth – 127km




I had the climb of my life! Holy, it was steep, long and hard! But it was such a relief when we got to the top. We reached eleveation 4061, it was crazy. At the end of the day myself and three other friends drafted pretty much from the top of the climb down. It was so beautiful! It reminded me of Terrace actually. The river was to our right and rocky mountain edges to our right. Sometimes when the trees opened and so the river was clear the breeze from the water felt so good! I thought of a quote today from which comes from my good friend Hans Doef while biking to like, “Annette, biking is like a feast for the senses.” Haha, oh Hans you are quite funny.
Oh and this little town of Leavenworth is like Germany! Its so cute. Apparently all the houses must be built like those in Germany. This pictures do not do it justice!

Mom: No snakes today, thank goodness. Apparently where I’m headed tomorrow there are a lot of rattle snakes...... uh oh. So in a weird way I’m glad you’re not here..... but I miss you all the same.
