My Garmin recorded temps at 102F on Lockwood Valley, and low to mid 90's on the approach and summit of Pine Mountain. Basically, it was warmish to hot in the middle of the ride, and I was surprised by how much salt was caked on my face when I finished. I was conscious of hydrating and taking calcium and electrolytes, but did not do an adequate job and suffered accordingly. I started to feel leg cramps when the grade went up on Lockwood Valley, well before reaching Heartbreak, and I basically had to soft-peddle when climbing the rest of the day. While I was fairly slow riding once the climbing started, I did reasonably well in minimizing my stopped time: a total of 39.5 minutes of which 17.5 min. were spent in Gorman where I stopped at McDonalds for some food (Egg McMuffin and a small fries; their shake machine was broken, so no choc. shake). Otherwise, a total of 22 minutes stopped time, including a couple of stops to take a picture.
