On a day that was to be a total wash out and possibly a rest day i awoke to clear skies. Hustling my gear i was on my way upward to waconda pass and 3500 feet of climbing at 5:30 am. The anxiety of such a climb soon disappeared due to smooth shoulders, light traffic, light tail wind and an easier than expected grade. Arriving in Republic Washington at 10:30. With clear skies over head i cancelled my room reservation and made a dash for Coville and a bicycle only hostel where hosts Shelley and Barry hosted a delicious meal of Ethiopian lentil soup and dessert. In total 99.25 mile and approximately 6000 feet of climbing.
