Well Death Valley this year was very hot. 102 when we finished the hundred miles. Out of 300 starters there were 100 DNFs! I'm really glad we decided it was too hot and elected not to try to complete the Double. We're listed as DNFs for the Double , but we didn't get sagged in like a lot of folks we talked to.

We didn't take any pictures on the ride, which was fairly brutal between the temps, the poor pavement and headwind. But we took a lot of pictures on our hiking adventures and they are posted on our website now. The link is below.

Death Valley is a beautiful place. I don't think we'll do the ride there again (unless they repave!) but we'll certainly go back to hike to some of the places we didn't get to on this trip.
