NEMY. NICOLA, HYLA, PAUL. CYCLING THE SIERRA NEVADA. SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA

Day Three

August 25, 2016

Horse Creek Campground to Potwisha Campground, Sequoia National Park

Today we will push into Sequoia National Park.

As it will be similar in style to an assault on Mt Everest for us, we will advance as close to the base of what will become a monumental climb to the summit of The Giant Forest tomorrow.

Our Adventure Cycling Association map is showing a profile of the climb that is more reflective of a ski mountain better suited with not one but multiple lifts to the top.

I'm coming,

I'm coming.

Today is a rather special day to ride into any National Park in the USA. August 25, 2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the creation of the National Park system.
Much of it started locally.

We will celebrate with free admission and smiles all around.
Oh, yes. I got a sticker.

Here we will ride UP to our camp. 

Like any mountain stage in a grand tour, the rock in the background offers a fine vantage point for some spectators. 

Here we had to make sure Hyla turned left. 

We'll spend our last night in the foothills and still a little heat for a couple of days.

I just assume with all the laughing and smiles they must be reading the latest @

going over niagara paul's.

An seemingly endless source of...............

No,

What a minute.

It's actually something of value and meaning and worth.

very unlike going over niagara paul's

OMG

We discuss that tomorrow we will start riding at 2,100ft above sea level to our destination campground in excess of 6,000 ft above sea level.

With our stage a measly 25k or so, we will easily classify this one as Hors Catégorie

This will not be the only time one might read a bit too much of what may lay ahead any of perhaps many days.

NOW TO DECIDE.

WHAT'S BETTER?

THE DEVIL YOU KNOW OR THE DEVIL YOU DON'T.
