Whenever a team member asks Conor how the next day's ride will be, he ALWAYS says "100 miles uphill into the wind" in order to prepare us mentally for the worst, so however it really is won't be so bad.Today we rode 100 miles uphill into the wind.We started off the morning early, meeting the intense winds around mile 10.  With each other's support, we toughed it out, crawling along WA-14, occationally even hitting speeds in the double digits!  Our team's trusty trio of speed rushed ahead to reserve a campsite, while everyone else took the day at a more human-like pace.  Many riders stopped to pick blackberries and get attacked by thorns.  Delicious blackberries!  Sharp thorns!  After a very long day, the team arrived at Columbia Hills State Park to delicious spaghetti.  We were all very exhausted upon arrival, so we all went to sleep.
