Day #9 - Yosemite Valley to Groveland
0 Watts ride. Unfortunately I had to leave Yosemite Valley but I will definitely be back one day. Started the detour around Tioga pass which is still closed but I had no motivation to cycle at all. Firstly because I didnt feel like leaving Yosemite and secondly because I had to pedal despite of pain. Nothing major, like 2/10 Achilles pain + a flesh wound on a big toe but still. Talking about that toe wound - apparently my flip flops are not spd compatible and your foot can slip off, grinding on the tarmac. 😬 So next couple of days I will keep it short and easy to recover and heal. Sonora Pass is not easy either.
P.S. Seth I saw everything you mentioned about - Hatch Hatchy and Cherry lake but I was completely done for the day and just wanted to descend as far as possible. Plus the hills on the way to Cherry Lake were completely shadeless and actually quite steep so I was like naaaah. Next time!




Just a guy touring on his bike across the world and getting progressively broke. Should you wish to help me out and fuel few kilometers of my ride please paypal.me/MPaluchowski. Any sort of help is greatly appreciated.
