Thu Mar 28 8:23:50 2024 / +0000 GMThttp://chainreactionblogs.com/diary/?p=3308so nice climbing in nearly-balmy weather, warm enough that I was slightly overdressed. Kevin (my son, not the pilot) was apparently overdressed enough that he overheated less than a mile from the top and had a seizure, very unfortunate since he was heading towards one of his best times on the climb.
I'd prefer it if it weren't quite so wet ont he descents though. Most of the guys don't seem to mind much, but I'm just not comfortable with my tires sliding around on the rain stripes, probably because it's been a very, very long time since I hit the deck so I'm riding a bit too conservatively.
In the totally-absurd category, just heard Roberta Gonzalez (Channel 5 weatherperson) say that the computer models aren't showing any rain until February 10th???!!! That's pretty unbelievable. While it's not likely they'll reopen Sonora Pass, it's quite possible Ebbets (Highway 4) and Tioga (120) may give us some interesting opportunities in the weeks ahead. ]]>33082012-01-26 23:35:592012-01-27 07:35:59
