Day 8 -- Matanuska to Tolsona

63 miles
4 hours 49 minutes
Avg 12.7
Ascent: 2441
Descent: 3246

None of the above matters at all because everything came together
today to make it one of my best rides ever! The weather was cool and
sunny. There were bathrooms available when we needed them. We rode by
lakes, miles of tundra and more glaciers. I stopped to watch an eagle
being harrassed by a smaller bird.
And we had TAILWIND the whole day! After the first hour I got a surge
of energy that lasted for the rest of the ride, and I arrived in camp
with energy to spare. Everyone felt it was a one of those spectacular
days of riding that we will remember for a long time.

That "surge of energy" wouldn't happen to be Red Bull related, would it?

Sounds like quite the adventure, hang in there and have fun!

Hello to Brian, Eric and Carol from me too!
