25 mi MWF/GRR
Wow, quite an adventure in Paradise this evening.
It was 78 degrees and windy when I left the village.
Cloudy and a few drops of rain.
Felt good to ride. It was like this all the way to the maint shack on GMR.
There wasn't a soul or sound on the road.
Then on the way back... Thunder and lightning.. Very very frightening...
Yow, it started to rain hard now, big drops.
At the Peacock saddle, the beginning of the Reward Climb, was the most spectacular rainbow!
It continued to rain all the way up the Reward climb.
I was soaked to the core, but it felt good, still 75 degrees out.
Great climb, it was a Priceless Evening in Paradise.
July the 4th, a good light show, sunset and alpenglow, rainbows and all.
