At one time or another, we've all been there. Robyn actually got a photo of my sufferage at the top of Dillin Divide. She had plenty of time to whip the her camera out ... I barely struggled up to this point.
Never saw you looking like that! One time years ago I had tonsillitis and started the ride feeling sick and we went over Mill Creek Summit into a cold headwind. 6 miles of climbing without the right clothes. They waited for me at the top and remarked how bad I looked. Another bad ride!
Another time we climbed to Camp 9 on the dirt road from Santa Clarita. Near the top the temperature dropped and it started snowing and again, I didn't have any extra layers. Coldest I've ever been on a ride and I got hypothermia and sick again. Bad ride.
