I got absolutely smashed.
This trip introduced more firsts than I could count. There were long stretches where the bike stopped being a bike and became something I pushed uphill with numb hands. Entire sections demanded hike a bike, and I obliged. I was cold from the first mile to the last.
It was a hard lesson delivered in wind and elevation. I learned what I need to carry with me, what I did not need, and what I am capable of.

“I got absolutely smashed” is both so funny and relatable.
Had a day just like this on my last trip in WA. Had to hike the bike a good several miles in a cold cloud. Props to the accomplishment!
