Massive Santa Ana winds today. Gust up to 42 mph and stronger up in the passes. I saw 2 choices this morning: do a barn burner out to San Juan Capistrano and catch a Metrolink train back or go head right out the door into the “Pain Cave” and head up Cajon Pass where the winds are the highest in the entire region. My mind licked its lips a wind turbo boosted barn burner out to the coast. My soul said jump off of the cliff. Dragon 🐉 will show up and take you for a mountain ride like no other… So without batting an eye 👁️ (even my 3rd 👁️) I locked and loaded and set out into the great push back…. Lots of blowing sand, sticks, tree limbs, blowing plastic bags and car - truck traffic also. Ironically the miles ticked off effortlessly and like a flowing stream…. Seemed like I got to Cajon Pass where in minutes despite the 9-10 mph speed due to the surging and swirling headwinds. Played with the Insta360 Go Ultra a bit. I think I got some epic video to edit, upload and post links to… stay tuned Bike functioned flawlessly 💋🚴🏾🙃 Coming back on the SART involved a full blown same storm kicked up so much I couldn’t see 10-15 ft in front of me while slamming 32 mph. Had to dodge a couple of homeless folks caught in it with hunkered down on the trail with their arms across their eyes. Wild stuff…
