W.I.N.D.Y.
Evidence that today was very windy...gusts up to 50mph! Today Bob & I did the Death Ride. We completed 4 mountain passes, 85 miles & 11,000 feet of climbing. It was tough! We opted to NOT do Carson Pass (the 5th pass) for 3 reasons: 1) The wind was crazy tough & a bit unsafe with the strong gusts! 2) Carson Pass was not closed to traffic like the other 4 roads were...it made us concerned about the fast traffic 3) 85 miles & 11,000' was no joke & my neck was killing me. I was bonked & ready to call it a day!
3,000 cyclists do this ride...it's a great event. It was a success for us! Afterwards we went to Grover Hot Springs to soak our aching muscles in the hot water. Awww!
I think you both were wise to stop when you did...soaking in hot water was what you needed...in the first picture are those clouds???
ReplyDeleteYes...now I can't remember what kind of clouds Bob called them. But those shaped clouds mean high wind. Yep...it was very windy!!
