Hitt Road
A few sprinkles here and there but not too bad. I was really dragging up the hill.

Two days ago it was in th 90s, today it was in the 60s. Good to get back on the mountain bike. Easy pace to start, harder up the trails. Took the road from Lamb's Saddle to Four Corners. Meet up with Egon, a bike builder new to the area from SF.
Really hot day, nice and cool in the woods and on top. Andy wanted to go slow so I went on ahead. Tried to hold it over 160 at 8 - 9 MPG. Had to slow down evry now and then but did good. 14.6 Avg.
Easy ride. Bike path to South Stage. Back Griffin to Pioneer and over the back side of Carpenter Hill. It was supposed to hit 90 today. I didn't leave until 4 which was about the the hottest time of the day. I cooled of nicely by the end.
First time up this year, two months and one week later then last. Still nice and cool on top. A few patches of snow under the trees. Starting to warm up in the valley.
Breezy and not too hot. Perfect riding weather. I was feeling rather slugish.
Siskiyou velo ride with Dan Wooten. Lots of people showed up for two different 50 mile rides. The one we did went up 5 creeks for 5000' of climbing. Poorman, Griffin, Coleman, Anderson, and Wagoner. Perfect temperature, about 70, with a nice breeze.
Bike path to South Stage to Dark Hollow to Carpenter Hill and back. Warmer. Still Head wind going out. Still dark too early for a longer ride.
A bit harder pace then I would have liked starting out, but once we started down from the orchards the rest of the ride was easy. My legs felt tired on the hills.
We went down early on Saturday and set up a table to promote the MLC and RTR. Hot this year but not has hot as two years ago. I did fine. Kept HR at 160 on Honey Run and maxed 1t 166 on Table Mt. Averaged 15 for the whole ride.
