5/31/13 Fri Day 17 6mi S of Riggins to Grangeville, ID 58 mi

This was a hard day for me. We started at 630 in the morning. It was 40 degrees and rode in multiple layers and booties, facemask and mountaineering gloves while my biking partner, Charlie, (with ice water flowing in his veins) was riding in shorts , light jacket and bare hands.

Climbed up and over Whitebird Pass.  Total climb for the day was 3786 feet. 
"Breathtaking" surroundings.
