Wife & I had another great weekend in the mountains at the Tour de Big Bear. A little drizzly Fri. am but cleared out by mid-morning. Rode the Fri afternoon Poker Run for a warm-up.
Woke Sat morning to crisp & clear skies. Temps in the low 60s to mid 70s throughout the ride- mild winds (which clocked favorably) and NO RAIN. We parted ways after the Baldwin loop wife rode the 50 miler while I headed up 38 to Onyx summit for the 70 miler. Legs felt good and it was much cooler than last year. Heading up Division for the last few kickers I felt pretty strong maybe it was all the pickle juice I drank at the SAGs or the 1500' less elevation. The roads were surprisingly clear very little storm debris.
Although we rode pretty much the same roads as always they're really nice roads felt kinda like visiting old friends.
Can't wait for next year.
