            We woke up pretty early but didn’t get out until around eight.  The first part of the day was fine:  We were full of energy and life.  Then came the hills, one hill right after another.  Then another hill right after that.  And then another.  They never stopped.  We did stop, however, several times.  At one point, we were fairly convinced that our rendezvous with death had arrived.  Somehow, I’m not sure how, we pedaled to Mountain Home, ate at Jack in the Box and got a motel room.  Exciting, huh?
