All the training is over and we leave tomorrow for Bishop.  The Everest Challenge will start 48 hours from now.  It will be cold at the start, but should be nice weather during most of the day, according to the latest forecast.

They put up some more data on the route for the Everest Challenge on Google Maps.  There are two very useful graphs for each day that show a plot of three important parameters, altitude, grade and temperature.  Here they are (click to enlarge):

Day 1

Day 2

I am going to take off the next two days, except for many a very short and easy ride to make sure I have my new bike adjusted right after swapping back to the Durace derailleur.
