This was the day where I started out in not enough clothes although I had wool on. It got colder during the morning. We had rain and ferocious winds so that when I got to Alpine I was shaking with cold. John loaned me his raincoat for the afternoon which really helped. We were promised cinnamon rolls in Alpine, but they ran out and had saved us the day's before. It took about an hour for them to heat it up. Alpine is also the place where I bought tubes. I showed the man exactly what I wanted as I had a box. He sold me 2 tubes with the valve stem too short, even after taking it out to "look" at my bike to make sure they were right. It will teach me to pay more attention and not accept what they say. The afternoon turned out much better with no rain, beautiful scenery, and some nice downhills. The wildflowers were spectacular.
