Day 19 (May 20th)

 
Distance 54 miles

 
The mountains have been good getting closer over the passed few days. I’ve felt like Frodo on his way to Mordor.

 
The climbing has begun today and every foot we get higher the temperature falls. Tonight is rain and near freezing temperatures. That’s a combo that I don’t fancy camping in, especially as I threw my roll mat away on day 3 haha!

 
As luck would have it we found an Abbey that had a dormitory for $15, so no storms for me!

 
Tomorrow is a big climbing day and I’m headed for 2ft of snow. On top of that it’s a long way to the next town so it could be a cold night!

Yours in cycling,
Dan
