Surprised this morning that it wasn't raining harder... forecast was for heavy precip. I was prepared to cancel when I woke up but when I looked outside I decided to go for it. Got my new crank on earlier this week but I needed to put on the chain and pedals before the ride.
New and clean... that won't last long.
No one at the Gate, I put up the rock. Nice to hear the creeks burbling.
One nice thing about riding alone... you can stop whenever you want for a photo.
Wildlife Encounter: pair of coyotes at Burma Road... ran off before I could get my camera out.
Hardly anyone on the Mountain. Saw two riders coming down, and a ranger sweeping rocks off the road.
Oh oh... what's this???
Dayum.... they just repaired this section.
Hope they got a warranty.
Pavement hasn't broken off yet, but it's undercut bad and deep.
Saw a couple more cyclists at Junction.
Not really very cold today, just wet and a little windy... probably about 1.5 Belgian Hardman® Points.
Funky fungus at Big Shady Oak
Le Befoure Chotte
Le Afteur Chotte
I may have found a work-around on the photo blogging thing... crop all my photos to be tall and skinny... like 9w and 12h... that seems reasonable.

Like you I hadn't planned on being able to ride on Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised when I woke to see the wet stuff was not falling from the sky! Quickly I dressed and went out for 50mi out and back on Calaveras Rd. I got rained on comming back but it wasn't cold and rather pleasant being the only one out there ;)
Looks like fun, you should try Crater Lake in Oregon some summer. Great exercise and beautiful scenery.
