We stopped for lunch, a dip, and a beer at silver lake &#8211; perfect! Then we headed into Lee vining where we picked up Morgan at the fanciest Mobil station you ever did see.<br \/>\nWe decided to stay at a campground about two miles up the Tioga pass. There, we meet McMann, a fellow bicycle tourist on his first tour &#8211; he had come up from Nevada through death valley. His route: ride for two months, and just see where the road takes him. Sounds good to me!<br \/>\nWe made quick work of tioga pass, which wasn&#8217;t as hard as I though it would be, and were in Tuolmne Meadows campground by 11:00. Morgan, McMann, and I did a short hike up Lyle canyon, and had a great lunch, dip, and nap at a gorgeous spot on the tuolmne river. Back at camp, we met a ton of Pacific Crest trail hikers, and entertained them with a little double-clarinet\/melodica jam session.<br \/>\nThe next morning, we said goodbye to McMann, and headed down through the rest of Yosemite &#8211; what a beautiful ride! Definitely one of my favorites! When we were able to get in touch with Alice and Anton, it turned out that they were only an hour behind us, having ridden the huge climb out of the valley in record time! They caught up with us in buck Meadows, and the five of us continued on to the most deluxe RV resort I&#8217;ve ever seen &#8211; bocce, hayrides, a petting zoo. Now we&#8217;re just outside of groveland, about to head to Sonora and then up ebbets pass!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466947650611-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1466947650611\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"  alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466947650611-1.jpg\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hot springs!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466947690133-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1466947690133\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"  alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466947690133-2.jpg\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lunchtime at silver lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466947737808-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1466947737808\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"  alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466947737808-2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466947760772-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1466947760772\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"  alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466947760772-2.jpg\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The view from tioga road<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466947795494-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1466947795494\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"  alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1466947795494-2.jpg\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Victory!
