Day #13 - Lake Tahoe to Graeagle — Forest forest forest. Woods woods woods. Very beautiful but monotonous. After 30km of woods everything starts to look the same and you are loosing track of time and distance. Trees occasionally gave way to vast
Day #12 - Sonora Pass to Lake Tahoe — Oh come on! Someone please make a shorter segment of that Monitor Pass because I was sure where the other guys chilled was an actual end of the climb! (I spend at least half an
Day #11 - Pinecrest to Sonora Pass — Sonora Pass was savage. In theory its reasonable ~7% climb over 15km so nothing too bad but this is far from reality. Averages lie! The very first km is almost 13% average with some kickers
Day #10 - Groveland to Pinecrest — Uphill rolling hills with some steep kickers which forced me out of my saddle for the first time ever since I started this trip. First one after the descent was almost Swiss-like in its 8%
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

Day #6 - Three Rivers to Sequoia & King’s Canyon National Parks — That was one awesome climb! Not too steep, with some false flats to catch a breath and gorgeous views. Giant sequoias were like a cherry on the top. These trees are amazing. 10/10 will come
Day #5 - Camp Nelson to Three Rivers — Recipe for a crispy cyclist. Ingredients: 1 cyclist Campsite in the woods 1 hot valley (at least 105F/40C) Preparation: Let the cyclist tenderize over the night at the campsite. The higher the better such that
Day #4 - Wofford Heights to Camp Nelson — Forest! Finally! Just look at this sequoia! It was a seriously good day today. Took off around 7am in the morning and it was a great call as I rode through Kern valley in the
