Jo, Solvang will be easier. Central Coast and Tam were both easier than ES. You'll be fine.

Brandy did George really fall asleep while climbing?

It was the elevation and lack of humidity. The humidity was only in the teens most of the day. I think I would have liked to get rained on. It just sucked me dry, literally.

I've been drinking and eating like crazy and I'm still down two pounds since Friday morning.

Well, I'm relieved he sounds like he'll be okay. I'll look at the pics when I get home. Stupid blocking software at work...

I SO wish I could have taken today off!

I am looking forward to reading V's ride report from this. Brandy, it sounds like you had a good ride - more or less! I sure hope George is okay.

I just went and re-read my report from ESDC last year. I remember struggling (gastro-intestinally) from the altitude, which is often typical for me. But it was REALLY creepy to notice that I wrote about having chest pain. This was after months of struggling with breathing problems, and three weeks before I was admitted to the hospital. (It was also BEFORE I took that cross-country flight, and it tells me that as I suspected, I had those stupid pulmonary emboli coming on for several months that whole year - after I started taking the BC in February. They weren't just brought on by the flight.)

Yowza. Glad to be here.

Great Job to you too Veronica! I'm looking forward to reading your report!

He was just done descending Mammoth Scenic Loop, about 1/4 mile from the turn-off onto 395. Yes, he was nodding off. He had stopped twice to shake it out and he was thinking he would just stop as soon as the descent was over.
