Tad bit unusual but not unheard of. The road probably won't open all the way "through" for a couple of weeks (it is not plowed).

Thanks to V and Thom and SadieKate and Bubba for coming up to ride. Kim, the ride actually stays nice all year as it's generally cooler up there in the heart of summer (though still in the 80s sometimes). When the road opens up all the way through, the traffic picks up but it's still beautiful and smelling of Jeffrey pine bark and crowded with western tanagers, chickarees, and pine grosbeaks. The sky is usually that color of blue up there. I know that I'm very lucky to live where I do. I don't ride that route nearly enough...so many places to ride, so little time.
