I hadn't ridden to The Summit since I broke my kneecap THREE YEARS AGO. I got up early but the fog was so thick I delayed my start until 0830, when visibility was better. I was ready and I paced myself just fine and everything was fine, but it took a lot out of me.
I picked a shard of glass out of my front tire - did a little tread damage but no flat.
I got a lot of dried fruit for X-mas... packed a baggie full of it for power snacks. Probably just as effective as a Clif Bar.
At Junction, Colonel Al was passing out cards for a GoFundMe campaign to help with legal bills regarding the fenced-off shortcut on South Gate Road. Then he said the head ranger was going to make him stop because there was a rule about soliciting money in The Park. I reminded him that he was NOT soliciting money, he was just passing out flyers, that linked to a website that provided information, including a donation button.

Also at Junction, a club of CaTrike riders were there - they looked like they were having fun. I also saw an elliptical bike, a couple tandems, and a few bike trailers with dogs and/or kids inside.
There was a really big trail running event going on too - they had a tent and aid stations at Summit.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the GoFundMe link! I was wondering/hoping if a cyclist/attorney would file a prescriptive easement lawsuit about this!!
Congrats on the summit!! :) I had a fracture of my wrist just before Christmas, so I'm off my bike for a couple of months. Ugh. Oh well.
Happy New Year!

Best of the new year to you too, Alison. Always nice to have a pink lady shoutout.
