I decided to take a long, slow climb for day 3. And climb I did!

Ride Summary

Experience

  • I climbed and the evening creeped forward. I worried about getting too cold on the way back down.

  • I didn’t get too cold on the way back down. The descent wasn’t as epic as I imagined.

  • Vehicles passed too close and foo fast. It was rush hour and there wasn’t much shoulder. I can see why this isn’t a very popular bike route.

Weather

  • Cool and slightly humid.

Spotted

  • Some cool rock faces and wildflowers.

Roads

  • Smooth, but not enough shoulder.

Mechanicals

  • None.
