Nice ridin' yesterday my man, and awesome graphic! I went out a couple of hours later and it had improved to almost-tolerable conditions. Also, are you sure on the 8,800 vertical? I did Targhee x 2 from home (base of Shooting Star), and showed just 4,300. Anyway, here's hoping for sunshine one of these days.
ReplyDeleteyou are a junkie!
ReplyDeleteDamn, you're a stud! You had more money in clothes and base layer than on the bike!! Good job.
