V- Where did you start? Sounds like you did Mines Road (one of my favorite rides) but I can't tell what you did after you got to the summit.

Love to hear your rides. I think you'll be fine for DMD- you still have some good riding time before that ride.

Yes, it was windy yesterday- SE winter winds! But at least you had them behind you as you went from the junction to the beginning of the "big"climb!
Good work. Looking forward to the end!
