Geez, I WAS on the same mountain wasn't I? I never saw the Pink Lady either! Is the Junction where those bathrooms and little ranger station is? I didn't realize you didn't have to go all the way to the peak (I assume that's where the little round brick thing is) to go down the other side.
I'd definitely be up for another try! I'm not suprised we didn't see each other, since I left later, and went up and down the North side. Having never ridden it, and coming from a place where a 'hill' is an overpass, it seemed pretty darn endless! Came down pretty slow too, since it was all unfamiliar with lots of turns, I had to stop a number of times to uncramp my hands!
