First run up high-ish of the season / by Dani Perrot

A very sweet loop we did in late June; 16.something miles long (MapMyRun, as it turns out, slightly underestimated this one) with 4530ish feet of vert gained. Took around 4.5 hours. Unfortunately it was hotter, dustier, and horsier than hell for a good chunk of coming back up over Storm Pass, aka all of my excuses for bonking a little. Sometimes, you bonk. Would like to go back and repeat this one.
