Went about 30 miles without cell service. In that time, it took me 1hr to get over Rochester Gap, and another 30mins to climb Brandon Gap.
At the final control with about 1 hr of pedaling, and serious climbing.
Feeling a bit nauseous, so I'm going to sit a bit and hope good and plenty's help.

At the start finish control in Bethel, where they have a nice skatepark and community pool.
I started in Hancock, though, so still a LONG way to go.
