Cool overcast start but thr sun came out shortly. Cut off the part that goes half way to Running Springs and headed straight out of Big Bear towards Onyx Summit 🏔️🦶🏽🦵🏾🫁🫀🌄 Definitely not used to terrain that requires continuous full muscular engagement but its coming. Felt more smooth and a notch more powerful turning a higher cadence and taller gears. The “Flight” down Onyx Summit was spectacular and pure Flow State ⚡️ First camp ground was closed due to flooding last winter. Next one was the ticket to refilling my bottles. Ate a baggy of 🥭’s. Down at Jenks Lake Rd the pitch turns upwards again. Brand new repaving though and beautiful view at trh turn around where an aid station will be. There was one really fast section headign back to Onyx, then that infamous 20 something mile long climb back to Onyx Summit. Stopped a couple milee before the summit to help 3 ladies with thwir overheated Honda Civic. Fortunately they had a gallon of radiator coolant so it was just a matter of gently pouring it in. By thr time rolled away they were good to go… Then theres that epic “Fly Buy” after cresting Onyx Summit and heading back to Big Bear! I love that stretch ❤️‍🔥⚡️🚴🏾🦶🏽🦵🏾🫁🫀🌅 63 miles in the mountains is such a wonderful workout!
