Today I wasn't to sure what i wanted to do or were i wanted to go knowing tomorrow I will be doing 60-miles in the dirt with 10,000ft. of climbing. Torture to some, slow pleasant pain to others. I decided to head up hwy 38 to Angelus Oaks or climb for 3-hours, which ever came first. I left home around 11:30 and headed out green spot. Only 16-miles in and I was already refilling my bottles. IT was HOT! It was a quick stop at the jerky store and I was off. As I was headed up hwy38 I saw Adam and I think I saw Joy also, not sure what kind of car she drives. They were probaly enjoying the single track as I torture myself in 100-plus degree heat
Made my second break at the store in Angelus Oaks. When I stopped I just was pouring sweat. I made it to the store in 2-hours15mins.
Refilled my bottles with some nuun sipped on 1/2 a soda,5-Ecaps, ate a bar and got back on the road.
I climbed for about another 30-minutes and started spacing out on The Radford Rd. climb. I keep staring at it. It was laughing at me, Taunting me, then I decided to turn around and head home. I need to be in Big Bear @6:30 and get some grub. I think I got to much sun today. 70-miles 4-1/2 hours of pedaling
