6. Double Day
It was suppose to be a fairly short day. The destination today was a very pictoresque set of waterfalls high up in the countryside. It didn’t workout that way. I couldn’t get across the river and had to turn back. I had to backtrack and continue to the next day’s destination. It ended up to be one of my best rides ever, mostly on dirt roads. I got in before the sunset but only with few minutes to spare. It was a long day.
