This afternoon I was able to get out on the bike in time to make the sunset up at the peak. Great weather! Lots of sunshine but a little on the cool side. I was short sleeves and leg warmers all the way to the top. Once I was at the top it was definitely time for the jacket. I was able to get up to the first ridge in 33 minutes. I pretty good time considering the condition of the road. For the entire ride, I was able to make it without putting my foot down and stopping. A good accomplishment for me as the road was very slippery. The most difficult section is actually the last push up to the peak. Once I got up there, it was probably about 10 minutes till sunset so I snapped a few pics.
I thought this pic was cool, with the sun in the background.

Gone!
A great ride other than my rear brake has been giving me fits. It has been rubbing on the rear rotor and now the lever is way too soft. I think there is air in the line. It's to the shop as it is beyond my mechanical capabilities. I hope I can have it back by the weekend. I think the weather will still be nice for riding.
