Rode up from my place in Worst Covina, up Azusa until I ran out of Azusa and stopped in at the Crystal Lake Store/Snack Bar to help Adam out with some work. It took me 3 hours to get up to the store, with a short section of walking the bike because I was damn tired.

Adam made an awesome CUSTOM SGMDF breakfast burrito with chili and cheese for me, my signature dish. It was awesome as hell.

The weather was nice on the way up, but it got rainy on the way down. Visibility was slightly limited:

Steam on the road.

Dunno how long it took to go back down. I had to keep messing with my iPod and my crappy earphones and everything was soaking wet. Took me an hour and ten or so last time I rode down on a shittyass mountain bike.

62.3 miles or so.

Anywho!

It was pretty fun on the way down, except for the fact that I couldn't see. :-)

BDE, sounds like a stalker on a bicycle following the west fork - the ride down in white out conditions and no brakes, now that sounds like fun.
