DAY 2.
Where there's an uphill there's a downhill, right? WRONG. Over 40+ miles of climbing up Rainy Pass elevation 4855 today. Just when Fr. Hilton thought it was over he approached his long-awaited descent only to find out it was a 1-mile quick teaser before the next big climb straight up Washington Pass, elevation 5477. Cramps ensue and the Pedaling Priest is ready for a meal and some rest!

Day 2: The summit of Washington Pass. What a relief to reach the top after 40 miles of climbing! More difficult than Independence Pass back home that tops out at over 12,000 feet
