Miles Completed Today: 38
Total Miles Completed: 225
Miles To Go: 3475
We spent last night at Indian Grinding Rock State Park in the Sierra Nevada foothills and woke up at 7:00 AM to try and get an early start. But after driving back to Consunme River where the guys stopped yesterday, and replacing tires and tubes on bikes, they never got on the road until 11:00 AM. It's another 57 miles to Carson Pass at the top of the Sierra Nevada, so likely we'll stay somewhere before there and then make some serious mileage tomorrow and the next day on the eastern slope.
Update: A late start around 11:00, one flat on Sean's bike, and a brutal three thousand foot climb limited the pace to around about five miles per hour from the Cosumnes River to Cooks Station twenty five miles away on HIghway 88. From Cooks Station they climbed another 1,000 feet and we camped along the Bear River Reservoir at 6,000 ft. Bear River Reservoir is tucked deep in a canyon and it bears a striking resemblance to Yosemite Valley not far away.

C'mon you bums. I expect no less than 100 miles a day from here on out. Don't make me come out there and beat you down with Sean's shoe. Or better yet I'll send my representative to deal with you (AKA Swordsman). Now get out there and show me what you're made of.
Glad to get the update. The trip has it's challenges but you guys seem to be having the time of your life. Sean - when are your going to blog???? Don't forget your SUNSCREEN!
It's been so great to be able to follow along with what you're doing! Sounds like you're having a fun time. Sorry we missed your call. We were in Mexico this weekend. Everyone said to say hello. Linda
