Day 5 - A Long Haul

June 21, Rainbow Falls State Park to Kalama, 71 miles, 2200 elevation gain
  Why did I decide to ride 71 miles on a fully loaded bike weight total of close to 70 pounds? Well, I don't really know.  It was actually less tiring than Day 1 somehow.  The weather was good, traffic light on the route I chose.  I was dreading a section of the route, a one mile climb just short of the end, named by Kalama Century alumni, That Bitch Carroll. Yeah, it was hard.  I survived and began thinking about my next tour.
