We have turned around on this route once before. This time we promised each other we would keep turning the pedals, no matter how slow it got.

The difference was doing the route in reverse and pacing. We made sure to have adequete fuel, reasonable mile goals and more route knowledge to lead us to victory.

At the meal stops we compared our dehydrated meal setups. Honestly never impressive to look at, but they always do the trick to keep us fuled and ready.

We celebrated with some beer and begun planning our next adventure.
