418.8 down, 1767.1 to go
We intended to wake this morning to see the sunrise...that didn't happen.
Even with two climbs, we got in our biggest mileage yet, around 19 miles! We had some pretty amazing flats in some spots, so we were able to cruise over those areas.
Near the top of Smart's Mountain, our stopping point for the day, we were overwhelmed with hunger and had to stop for a snack. The climb was gradual, over 4 miles and we kept a great pace, but we had no idea how far we had left to go, so we stopped real quick.
After our snack break, we realized we were super close to the top, less than a quarter mile. Oh, well. We put our stuff down in the cabin, which was an old fire warren cabin, and headed to the lookout. A nerve racking climb up, apparently some people actually sleep up there...but a wonderf view! Overall, a great day. We are ready to start putting our miles in!
