Wow, Veronica, great ride report. I really appreciate that you and others write great, detailed reports. I find them inspiring...they fuel my own hopes of doing longer and longer rides in the future.
Also, I find your total time vs. your riding time to be pretty amazing. Something like a total of one hour off the bike over a course of 200 miles? That is definitely something I have to keep working on...I don't spend a lot of time during any one break off the bike, but I think I do short stops too often.
Anyhow, thanks for the pics and story...looks like incredible country. Good job!

Thanks, glad you enjoy it.
I had about 48 minutes off the bike at the rest stops and 4 other very brief stops for water. I didn't hit my lap counter for those 4, but I doubt they were more than 2 - 3 minutes.
I know some people feel better when they stop. Stopping feels good, but starting up again after a stop can be a bear.
