The bikers went over the mountain

In limbo right now. Caught up with day job and can't start any new projects since I'm leaving at noon to go home and finish up packing. Checking out LJ and going back over the list of what I need to bring with me to make sure I've got everything packed.

For enquiring minds here's the itinerary.

Daily mileage is shorter than on some other tours we've taken, but the elevation changes will add that special touch. In addition to biking, some days include hiking in the afternoon.
