We needed you there to laugh at Scoflaw Ed! In a 15 mph zone he rode (sedately for him) around the ranger who was doing 16 mph. Lights, siren and a stern talking to!

Hoo boy, frigid cold and gusty winds on the descent. I think we all rode down slower than we ever have because going faster meant more shivering. No one was hanging out waiting for anyone because it was so cold up high. Ed, Lee and I had this big discussion about Nicole and whether she knew to take the left hand turn at the junction. I was willing to ride up to find her but I just couldn't face going downhill in those temps again. So Ed rode up and gave the ranger another big wave.

Lots of personal bests today.

We'll be there soon. Do a dance to the sun gods, OK?
