We started this day with a little hiccup- Ted hit a curb that sheared the shifter peg. We rode for about 100 miles, stopping at a hardware store to fix it.
As the elevation profile shows, it was a day involving descending from Bogota to the valley, then climbing up and over a very steep ridge. A tunnel is being bored to eliminate 2500 feet of the climb, but it'll still be a steep and windy trip.
