Day two of acnoping.


First climb out of Jasper 3.5 miles.



The crown jewel that Mertz had drivn down in the 90's. From the bottom to the top just a tad over 5 miles long the first part was a little lumpy. The last mile or so was straight up. It was all I could do to keep cranking away. We agreed that we may not ever do that climb again because it just was not fun.


After that climb we did the one from Jasper to Ponca I felt good at the beginning and then about a mile in was done.

All in all it was a good couple of days the first day we did the Kingston climb, then another one south from there, and then the climb going out of Ponca twice.
