Sandy death march (aka Menso's tribute ride)

Portland - Hood Summit - Portland (part 2,3)

Portland - Hood Summit - Portland (part 1)

For leg 2, I locked my bike to the climber's kiosk, transitioned to my ski gear, and started up. The pace was decent, but a little slow all of the way up to Devil's Kitchen. It was hot out, and I stupidly only brough 1L of water for the climb, and not enough for the bike either. I quickly drank through it all and started to feel the symptoms of dehydration, and started bonking from not longer being able to eat without water. Moving was slow up to Old Chute, where I started to feel quite loopy. I pushed on to the summit, which was questionable considering the narrow traverse with sheer drops on either side. The ski down was rough with many stops to rest. By the time I got back to Timberline, I could tell my day was over and a 60 mile ride back wasn't in the cards. That, and I was nearly 3 hours off of the pace I was hoping for. I coasted down to Govy, and got a ride home, starting to scheme on when my next attempt will happen...
