After a night spent camping, we’ve returned to the blog!
We started the day yesterday biking along the American River in Sacramento. It was a gorgeous route with well-paved biking trails and plenty of great views.
Then, we began our ascent into the Sierras. After a grueling 6.5k feet elevation gain over the course of 40 miles, we finally arrived to our campground at Sly Park. We settled into a beautiful lot next to the lake and got settled in for the night. Although the transition to camping was certainly jarring, it was a great feeling to sleep under the stars and rise with the sun.
It’s an exciting time in our trip right now. Not only have we entered our first serious mountain range, but we’re also days away from our first teaching day! The adventure of the open road only continues to grow.
Sincerely,
Alex
