With a few people crossing their fingers as we all drove out watching the black heavy clouds we managed a great night with just a slight drizzle. I was very surprised the trials were 95% dry and only the few normal puddles on Tom Snow on the way back. Every year in my mind I think I'm biking stronger until I start this climb. Even riding all winter doesn't prepare you for this amount of climbing. 2,318 ft over 13.73 km, total time was 2:28:13. Started with Sulfur Springs then Pneuma a big climb and a few technical sections that are always a challenge. Once at the top we voted to do Race of Spades instead of Shaft. No injuries, overall a great ride, one had three pinch flats but no other breakdowns. Great seeing some new faces, I look forward to our next adventure. Thanks for signing up, Doug
