This ride added a new feature from the usual route out to Wrightwood, the climb up Lone Pine Canyon Rd, which was about a 7.7 mi climb with an avg grade of 7.1% (max grade of 11.5%). There was often a significant headwind of about 15 mph. Started with Michael, Donato and TJ. (TJ rode from home.) Very cold day of riding; temperatures ranged from 32 to 54, but most of the day it was between 37-45, plus wind chill. Michael felt sick to his stomach for the second day, but felt better upon leaving Newcomb's. Donato was cold. TJ has had some residual knee swelling from the TdF, and was cold; he decided to turn back at Dawson Saddle. Michael and Donato turned back at Wrightwood, so I rode the balance of the ride alone. I felt very strong - I think it is the cold, in contrast to hot days. I lost quite a bit of time stopping to take pictures on my ride back... Heart rate data is totally wacko with data of over 200 bpm after 54 miles.
