If that wasn't enough, today I rode up to Ward on my bike--another 4,200 feet of elevation gained over 22 miles. I got to experience rain, wind, sun, and snow on the way up, as passing squalls dropped a variety of precipitation. At one point I had to get off my bike (at mile 20 of 22) and hunker down in some bushes while a brief snow/hail storm passed. It was all pretty cool, and it took me about 2 hours 15 minutes to make it to the top of the town of Ward. The way down was made perilous by wet roads but all ended well.
The evening was uneventful though I DID watch Deathstalker AND Godzilla vs. Megalon--which is probably better fodder for comments than any of my legariffic endeavors.
