The day started off at 14C at 5a. It was really nice. At around 10a it went right from nice and cool to hot and just got hotter, up to 34C! It was like an oven at times. Doug invited his friend Cathy along who was really going for it on all the climbs. I made sure to pace myself and my legs felt great the whole day pretty much. I even did a decent hill sprint against Doug and Cathy. There was one exception of starting get heatstroke about a half mile from the top of Resurrection. Fortunately I was able to get it under control with ice at the rest stop. This was Bob's second ride back after 4 weeks off from the crash and he justifiably suffered towards on the climbs, in the heat, and especially at the end. We all did our best to help him home. At the end, I lit it up but missed my turn, didn't see the marker on the road and nearly got lost. Hey, I got bonus miles! :)
