2013 SMR 22

Garage flat this morning.  Pulled a big rose thorn out of my front tire and fixed it while I watched Le Tour... first stage in the mountains and exactly what a mountain stage is supposed to be.

Anyway, got to The Gate late and started about 8:15.  Almost caught JB at Clavicle Cracker but then he flamed up the afterburners and beat me to Junction.

Then I went up to Juniper solo.

This guy shouted out "DIABLO SCOTT" as he came down.

Nice ride up to Juniper.
