Thanks Sabine, You were a source of inspiration. I had many of the same doubts that you expressed before we started in 2016 but you were a lot more prepared than I was for this ride. Very impressed with your cycling ability and cherish your friendship!

Hey Chuck –
Are you the Chuck Hardesty from college who rode from Pamplona over the Pyrenees with me? And where is the Continental Divide just 6K?
And if not, sorry to intrude — your name came up, in the way that Google does things.

Hi Don, No sorry different CH but it sounds like a ride that would be fun. The elevation was over 12k at times but seldom under 5k.. Chuck
