Unexpected Climbs

Huayin to Sanmenxia
November 2nd
148km (1,622 vertical)

Tough day. No one expected this much climbing. We crossed several canyons, descending into each at 50km/h and then climbing up the other side Could have used my granny gear. Nicole must have gotten up on the right side of the bed, because she was really flying in the afternoon - we cruised along above 30km/h for most of it.

The days are starting to blend together a bit, since every hotel room looks exactly the same. On the other hand, with Mile no longer cooking, we are eating a lot more local food. Somehow, there seem to be new dishes every night and I'm really enjoying most of them.
